Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Fusarium graminearum-Responsive lncRNAs in Triticum aestivum.

ABSTRACT: Although the war between wheat and Fusarium has been widely investigated for years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which have been proven to regulate important processes in the development and stress responses of plants, are still poorly known in wheat against Fusarium. Herein, we systematically reveal the roles of wheat lncRNAs in the process of Fusarium graminearum infection by high-throughput RNA sequencing. Well over 4130 of the total 4276 differentially expressed lncRNAs were already specifically expressed at 12 h postinoculation (hpi), but only 89 of these were specifically expressed at 24 hpi, indicating that the initial stage was the crucial stage for lncRNA-mediated gene regulation of wheat defense against F. graminearum. Target analysis showed the lncRNAs participated in various
