Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in the plant response to environmental stressors. However, their roles in potato resistance to pathogens, insects, and other biotic stress are still unclear. The PotatoBSLnc is a database for the study of potato lncRNAs in response to major biotic stress. Here, we collected 364 RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data derived from 12 kinds of biotic stresses in 26 cultivars and wild potatoes. PotatoBSLnc currently contains 18 636 lncRNAs and 44 263 mRNAs. In addition, to select the functional lncRNAs and mRNAs under different stresses, the differential expression analyses and the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGGDatabase : the journal of biological databases and curationPotatoBSLnc: a curated repository of potato long noncoding RNAs in response to biotic stress.PMC11846501620710852023KJ270with no numberZR2021QF1432020xjrc216Chen QLi ZCao WZhou BWang GWang JHuang PfalsePotatoBSLnc: a curated repository of potato long noncoding RNAs in response to biotic stress.The biotic stress significantly influences the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) all over the world.
