摘要： Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a horticultural crop that is planted globally. Cucumis melo L. cv. Baogua is a typical melon that is suitable for studying fruit development because of its ability to adapt to different climatic conditions. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides, which play important roles in a wide range of biological processes by regulating gene expression. In this study, the transcriptome of the Baogua melon was sequenced at three stages of the process of fruit development (14 days, 21 days, and 28 days) to study the role of lncRNAs in fruit development. The cis and trans lncRNAs were subsequently predicted and identified to determine their target genes. Notably, 1716 high-confidence lncRNAs were obtained in the three groups. A subsequent differential expression analysis of the lncRNAs between the three groups revealed 388 differentially expressed lncRNAs. A total of 11 genes were analyzed further to validate the transcriptome sequencing results. Interestingly, the MELO3C001376.2 and MSTRG.571.2 genes were found to be significantly (P < 0.05) downregulated in the fruits. This study provides a basis to better understand the functions and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs during the development of melon fruit.
