Identification of long noncoding RNAs involved in resistance to downy mildew in Chinese cabbage.

ABSTRACT: Brassica downy mildew, a severe disease caused by Hyaloperonospora brassicae, can cause enormous economic losses in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) production. Although some research has been reported recently concerning the underlying resistance to this disease, no studies have identified or characterized long noncoding RNAs involved in this defense response. In this study, using high-throughput RNA sequencing, we analyzed the disease-responding mRNAs and long noncoding RNAs in two resistant lines (T12-19 and 12-85) and one susceptible line (91-112). Clustering and Gene Ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed that more DEGs were involved in the defense response in the two resistant lines than in the susceptible line.
