Identification of miRNA-Target Gene Pairs Responsive to <i>Fusarium</i> Wilt of Cucumber via an Integrated Analysis of miRNA and Transcriptome Profiles
description <i>Fusarium</i> wilt (<i>FW</i>) of cucumber (<i>Cucumis sativus</i> L.) caused by <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>cucumerinum</i> (Foc) is a destructive soil-borne disease that severely decreases cucumber yield and quality worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) that are important for regulating host immunity because they affect target gene expression. However, the specific miRNAs and the miRNA/target gene crosstalk involved in cucumber resistance to <i>FW</i> remain unknown. In this study, we compared sRNA-seq and RNA-seq data for cucumber cultivar ‘Rijiecheng’, which is resistant to <i>FW</i>. The integrated analysis identified <i>FW</i>-responsive miRNAs and their target genes. On the basis of verified expression levels, we detected two highly expressed miRNAs with down-regulated expression in response to Foc.
