Abstract lncRNAs regulate gene expression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Using computational strategy, we identified 47 and 179 V. vinifera lncRNAs and protein coding sequences, respectively in response to necrotrophic fungus- Botrytis cinerea (gray mold). Co-expression analysis-driven functional annotation revealed their association with GO terms for ‘response to stress’, ‘response to biotic stimulus’, ‘defense response to fungus’, etc. Potential involvement of lncRNAs was also observed in key pathways such as stilbenoid biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, and chitin degradation. Overall, our results indicate that lncRNAs along with other regulators like miRNAs help in modulating plant basal defense response against necrotrophic fungi.

Vitis vinifera (Grapevine) lncRNAs 是对坏死性真菌、灰葡萄孢菌感染反应的潜在调节剂

摘要 lncRNAs 在转录和转录后水平调节基因表达。使用计算策略，我们分别鉴定了 47 和 179 V. vinifera lncRNAs 和蛋白质编码序列，以响应坏死性真菌 - Botrytis cinerea（灰霉菌）。共表达分析驱动的功能注释揭示了它们与 GO 术语“对压力的反应”、“对生物刺激的反应”、“对真菌的防御反应”等的关联。 lncRNA 的潜在参与也被观察到了关键途径如芪类生物合成、谷胱甘肽代谢和几丁质降解。总体而言，我们的结果表明 lncRNA 与其他调节剂（如 miRNA）一起有助于调节植物对坏死性真菌的基础防御反应。
