Genome-wide Identification  of Fusarium graminearum-Responsive lncRNAs in Triticum aestivum
We identified the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Triticum aestivum infected with Fusarium graminearum by high-throughput RNA sequencing. More than 393 million clean reads were obtained from Illumina Hiseq 4000 system and 126,391 transcripts was identified as high-confidence lncRNAs in T. aestivum against F. graminearum by an integrated approach. Already well over 4,130 of the total 4,276 differentially expressed lncRNAs were specifically expressed at 12 h post-inoculation (hpi), but only 89 of these were specifically expressed at 24 hpi, indicating that the initial stage was the crucial stage for lncRNA-mediated gene regulation of wheat defense against F. graminearum. Target analysis showed the lncRNAs participated in various biological stress processes. Overall design: RNA profiles of wheat post-inoculated with Fusarium graminearum 12h and 24h
