摘要： As emerging essential regulators in plant development, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been extensively investigated in multiple horticultural crops, as well as in different tissues of plants. Tomato fruits are an indispensable part of people's diet and are consumed as fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, tomato is widely used as a model to study the ripening mechanism in fleshy fruit. Although increasing evidence shows that lncRNAs are involved in lots of biological processes in tomato plants, the comprehensive identification of lncRNAs in tomato fruit during its expansion and ripening and their functions are partially known. Here, we performed strand-specific paired-end RNA sequencing (ssRNA-seq) of tomato Heinz1706 fruits at five different developmental stages, as well as flowers and leaves. We identified 17,674 putative lncRNAs by referencing the recently released SL4.0 and annotation ITAG4.0 in tomato plants. Many lncRNAs show different expression patterns in fleshy fruit at different developmental stages compared with leaves or flowers. Our results indicate that lncRNAs play an important role in the regulation of tomato fruit expansion and ripening, providing informative lncRNA candidates for further studies in tomato fruits. In addition, we also summarize the recent advanced progress in lncRNAs mediated regulation on horticultural fruits. Hence, our study updates the understanding of lncRNAs in horticultural plants and provides resources for future studies relating to the expansion and ripening of tomato fruits.
