The susceptibility of sea-island cotton recombinant inbred lines to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum infection is characterized by altered expression of long noncoding RNAs.

ABSTRACT: Disease resistance is one of the most complicated yet important plant traits. The potential functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in response to pathogenic fungi remain unclear. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of four different sea-island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) recombinant inbred lines (RILs) with susceptible, highly susceptible, highly resistant, or super highly resistant phenotypes and compared their responses to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) infection with those of their susceptible and resistant parents. Infection-induced protein coding genes were highly enriched in similar disease resistance-related pathways regardless of fungal susceptibility. In contrast, we found that the expression of a large number of Fov infection-induced lncRNAs was posi
