Integrated Analysis of mRNA and Non-coding RNA Transcriptome in Pepper (Capsicum chinense) Hybrid at Seedling and Flowering Stages.

ABSTRACT: Pepper is an important vegetable in the world. In this work, mRNA and ncRNA transcriptome profiles were applied to understand the heterosis effect on the alteration in the gene expression at the seedling and flowering stages between the hybrid and its parents in Capsicum chinense. Our phenotypic data indicated that the hybrid has dominance in leaf area, plant scope, plant height, and fruit-related traits. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that nine members of the plant hormone signal transduction pathway were upregulated in the seedling and flowering stages of the hybrid, which was supported by weighted gene coexpression network analysis and that BC332_23046 (auxin response factor 8), BC332_18317 (auxin-responsive protein IAA20), BC332_13398
