Integrative mRNA and Long Noncoding RNA Analysis Reveals the Regulatory Network of Floral Bud Induction in Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.).

ABSTRACT: Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) is a tropical/subtropical fruit tree of significant economic importance. Floral induction is an essential process for longan flowering and plays decisive effects on the longan yield. Due to the instability of flowering, it is necessary to understand the molecular mechanisms of floral induction in longan. In this study, mRNA and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcriptome sequencing were performed using the apical buds of fruiting branches as materials. A total of 7,221 differential expressions of mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and 3,238 differential expressions of lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified, respectively. KEGG enrichment analysis of DEmRNAs highlighted the importance of starch and sucrose metabolic, circadian rhythms, and plant hormone signal transduction pa
