Third-Generation Sequencing Reveals LncRNA-Regulated HSP Genes in the Populus x canadensis Moench Heat Stress Response.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses. However, the short reads produced by second-generation sequencing technology make it difficult to accurately explore full-length transcripts, limiting the study of lncRNAs. In this study, we used third-generation long-read sequencing technology with the PacBio Sequel and Illumina platform to explore the role of lncRNAs in the heat stress response of Populus x canadensis Moench trees. We using 382,034,416 short reads to correct 4,297,179 long reads by resulted in 66,657 full-length transcripts, representing 33,840 genes. Then, 753 putative lncRNAs were identified, including 658 sense lncRNAs (87.38%), 41 long intervening/intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) (5.44%), 12 antisense lncRNAs (1.59%), and 42 sens
