摘要： Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to play important roles in transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic gene regulation in various biological processes. However, lncRNAs and their regulatory roles remain poorly studied in horticultural plants. Rose is economically important not only for their wide use as garden and cut flowers but also as important sources of natural fragrance for perfume and cosmetics industry, but presently little was known about the regulatory mechanism of the floral scent production. In this paper, a RNA-Seq analysis with strand-specific libraries, was performed to rose flowers in different flowering stages. The scented variety 'Tianmidemeng' (Rosa hybrida) was used as plant material. A total of 13,957 lncRNAs were identified by mining the RNA-Seq data, including 10,887 annotated lncRNAs and 3070 novel lncRNAs. Among them, 10,075 lncRNAs were predicted to possess a total of 29,622 target genes, including 54 synthase genes and 24 transcription factors related to floral scent synthesis. 425 lncRNAs were differentially expressed during the flowering process, among which 19 were differentially expressed among all the three flowering stages. Using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), we correlate the differentially-expressed lncRNAs to synthesis of individual floral scent compounds. Furthermore, regulatory function of one of candidate lncRNAs for floral scent synthesis was verified using VIGS method in the rose. In this study, we were able to show that lncRNAs may play important roles in floral scent production in the rose. This study also improves our understanding of how plants regulate their secondary metabolism by lncRNAs.
