摘要： Kiwifruit has gained increasing attention worldwide for its unique flavor and high nutritional value. Rapid softening after harvest greatly shortens its shelf-life and reduces the commercial value. Therefore, it is imperative and urgent to identify and clarify its softening mechanism. This study aimed to analyze and compare the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA expression patterns in ABA-treated (ABA) and room temperature (RT)-stored fruits with those in freshly harvested fruits (CK) as control. A total of 697 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 81 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) were identified while comparing ABA with CK, and 458 DEGs and 143 DELs were detected while comparing RT with CK. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of the identified DEGs and the target genes of DELs revealed that genes involved in starch and sucrose metabolism, brassinosteroid biosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, and flavonoid biosynthesis accounted for a large part. The co-localization networks, including 38 DEGs and 31 DELs in ABA vs. CK, and 25 DEGs and 25 DELs in RT vs. CK, were also performed. Genes related to fruit ripening, such as genes encoding beta -galactosidase, mannan endo-1,4-beta -mannosidase, pectinesterase/pectinesterase inhibitor, and NAC transcription factor, were present in the co-localization network, suggesting that lncRNAs were involved in regulating kiwifruit ripening. Notably, several ethylene biosynthesis- and signaling-related genes, including one 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase gene and three ethylene response factor genes, were found in the co-localization network of ABA vs. CK, suggesting that the promoting effect of ABA on ethylene biosynthesis and fruit softening might be embodied by increasing the expression of these lncRNAs. These results may help understand the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs in ripening and ABA-induced fruit softening of kiwifruit.
