The sequence of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) originating from tea leaves infected by Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola strain ACCC39730.
Tea have been widely grown in Guizhou province, China, and the cultivation area in the region ranks first among all the provinces or cities in China. Tea leaf spot caused by Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola was firstly found in Yuqing County, Guizhou Province, China. The disease widely occurred at the tea plantation with higher altitude, and the season of cold spell in later spring, which can decrease the quality and production of tea leaves. The sequence and functional annotation of the lncRNAs and circRNAs of tea (Camellia sinensis cultivar Fuding-Dabaicha) leaves infected by P. trachicarpicola strain named GZYQ2018YQX001 contribute to the future research on trait-specific genes of the pathogen, host-pathogen interactions and disease resistance in the tea host.
