Novel Insights Into Genetic Responses for Waterlogging Stress in Two Local Wheat Cultivars in Yangtze River Basin.

ABSTRACT: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the most widely cultivated crop, is affected by waterlogging that limited the wheat production. Given the incompleteness of its genome annotation, PacBio SMRT plus Illumina short-read sequencing strategy provided an efficient approach to investigate the genetic regulation of waterlogging stress in wheat. A total of 947,505 full-length non-chimetric (FLNC) sequences were obtained with two wheat cultivars (XM55 and YM158) with PacBio sequencing. Of these, 5,309 long-non-coding RNAs, 1,574 fusion genes and 739 transcription factors were identified with the FLNC sequences. These full-length transcripts were derived from 49,368 genes, including 47.28% of the genes annotated in IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 and 40.86% genes encoded two or more isoforms, while 27.31% gene
