The sequence of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) originating from tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves infected by Didymella bellidis strain CGMCC3.20149
Tea (Camellia sinensis [L.] O. Kuntze) 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. D. bellidis is a phytopathogen that causes tea leaf spot, and decreases the quality and production of tea leaves. Tea leaf spot caused by D. bellidis was firstly found in Yuqing County, Guizhou Province, China. The sequence and functional annotation of the lncRNAs and circRNAs of tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves infected by D. bellidis strain CGMCC3.20149 (namely strain GZYQYQX2B) contribute to the future research on trait-specific genes of the pathogen, host-pathogen interactions and disease resistance in the tea host.
