Abstract
Bacterial and fungal aerosol pollution is widespread in indoor school environments, and poses potential health risks to students and staff. Understanding the distribution and diversity of microbial communities within aerosols is crucial to mitigate their adverse effects. Existing knowledge regarding the composition of bacterial and fungal aerosols, particularly the presence of potential pathogenic microorganisms in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from nursery schools to universities, is limited. To bridge this knowledge gap, in the present study, we collected PM2.5 samples from five types of schools (i.e., nursery schools, primary schools, junior schools, and high schools and universities) in China. We used advanced single-molecule real-time sequencing to analyze the species-level diversity of bacterial and fungal components in PM2.5 samples based on 16S and ITS ribosomal genes, respectively. We found significant differences in microbial diversity and community composition among the samples obtained from different educational institutions and pollution levels. In particularly, junior schools exhibited higher PM2.5 concentrations (62.2-86.6 μg/m3) than other schools (14.4-48.4 μg/m3). Moreover, microbial variations in PM2.5 samples were associated with institution type. Notably, the prevailing pathogenic microorganisms included Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Schizophyllum commune, all of which were identified as Class II Pathogenic Microorganisms in school settings. Four potentially novel strains of S. commune were identified in PM2.5 samples collected from the university; the four strains showed 92.4 %-94.1 % ITS sequence similarity to known Schizophyllum isolates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore bacterial and fungal diversity within PM2.5 samples from nursery schools to universities. Overall, these findings contribute to the existing knowledge of school environmental microbiology to ensure the health and safety of students and staff and impacting public health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA N6-methyladenosine (6mA), as an important epigenetic modification, widely exists in bacterial genomes and participates in the regulation of toxicity, antibiotic resistance, and antioxidant. With the continuous development of sequencing technology, more 6mA sites have been identified in bacterial genomes, but few studies have focused on the distribution characteristics of 6mA at the whole-genome level and its association with gene expression and function. RESULTS This study conducted an in-depth analysis of the 6mA in the genomes of two pathogenic bacteria, Aeromonas veronii and Helicobacter pylori. The results showed that the 6mA was widely distributed in both strains. In A. veronii, 6mA sites were enriched at 3' end of protein-coding genes, exhibiting a certain inhibitory effect on gene expression. Genes with low 6mA density were associated with cell motility. While in H. pylori, 6mA sites were enriched at 5' end of protein-coding genes, potentially enhancing gene expression. Genes with low 6mA density were closely related to defense mechanism. CONCLUSIONS This study elucidated the distribution characteristics of 6mA in A. veronii and H. pylori, highlighting the effects of 6mA on gene expression and function. These findings provide valuable insights into the epigenetic regulation and functional characteristics of A. veronii and H. pylori.

Abstract
Bacteria and fungi are abundant and ubiquitous in bioaerosols in hospital environments. Understanding the distribution and diversity of microbial communities within bioaerosols is critical for mitigating their detrimental effects. Our knowledge on the composition of bacteria or fungi in bioaerosols is limited, especially the potential pathogens present in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from specialized hospitals. Thirty p.m.2.5 filter samples were collected from five hospitals (i.e., oral, dermatology, chest, eye, and general hospitals) in Shandong Province, East China. The diversity of bacteria and fungi was analyzed at the species level using single-molecule real-time sequencing of the 16 S and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS) ribosomal genes, respectively. Significant differences were detected across sampling sites in terms of microbial diversity and community composition in PM2.5 as well as pollution concentrations. The range of PM2.5 concentrations observed in hospital halls was higher, ranging from 39.0 to 46.2 μg/m3, compared to the wards where the concentrations ranged from 10.7 to 25.2 μg/m3. Furthermore, microbial variations in PM2.5 bioaerosols were associated with hospital type. The most dominant pathogens identified were Vibrio metschnikovii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Fusarium pseudensiforme, and Aspergillus ruber. Among these, A. ruber was identified as an opportunistic fungus in a hospital setting for the first time. Nine potentially novel strains of F. pseudensiforme, showing 84.5%-92.0% ITS sequence similarity to known Fusarium isolates, were identified in PM2.5 samples from all hospitals (excluding an eye hospital). This study highlights the importance of hospital environments in shaping microbial aerosol communities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to provide insights into the bacterial and fungal biodiversity of PM2.5 in specialized hospitals, enriching research in healthcare environmental microbiology and carrying significant public health implications.

Abstract
Hongqu rice wine, a famous traditional fermented alcoholic beverage, is brewed with traditional Hongqu (mainly including Gutian Qu and Wuyi Qu). This study aimed to compare the microbial communities and metabolic profiles in the traditional brewing of Hongqu rice wines fermented with Gutian Qu and Wuyi Qu. Compared with Hongqu rice wine fermented with Wuyi Qu (WY), Hongqu rice wine fermented with Gutian Qu (GT) exhibited higher levels of biogenic amines. The composition of volatile flavor components of Hongqu rice wine brewed by different fermentation starters (Gutian Qu and Wuyi Qu) was obviously different. Among them, ethyl acetate, isobutanol, 3-methylbutan-1-ol, ethyl decanoate, ethyl palmitate, ethyl oleate, nonanoic acid, 4-ethylguaiacol, 5-pentyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone, ethyl acetate, n-decanoic acid etc. were identified as the characteristic aroma-active compounds between GT and WY. Microbiome analysis based on high-throughput sequencing of full-length 16S rDNA/ITS-5.8S rDNA amplicons revealed that Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Enterobacter, Weissella, Saccharomyces, Monascus and Candida were the predominant microbial genera during the traditional production of GT, while Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Enterobacter, Kozakia, Weissella, Klebsiella, Cronobacter, Saccharomyces, Millerozyma, Monascus, Talaromyces and Meyerozyma were the predominant microbial genera in the traditional fermentation of WY. Correlation analysis revealed that Lactobacillus showed significant positive correlations with most of the characteristic volatile flavor components and biogenic amines. Furthermore, bioinformatical analysis based on PICRUSt revealed that microbial enzymes related to biogenic amines synthesis were more abundant in GT than those in WY, and the enzymes responsible for the degradation of biogenic amines were less abundant in GT than those in WY. Collectively, this study provides important scientific data for enhancing the flavor quality of Hongqu rice wine, and lays a solid foundation for the healthy and sustainable development of Hongqu rice wine industry.

Abstract
Third-generation sequencing (TGS) has led to a brave new revolution in detecting genetic diseases over the last few years. TGS has been rapidly developed for genetic disease applications owing to its significant advantages such as long read length, rapid detection, and precise detection of complex and rare structural variants. This approach greatly improves the efficiency of disease diagnosis and complements the shortcomings of short-read sequencing. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the working mechanism of one of the most important representatives of TGS, single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing by Pacific Bioscience (PacBio), followed by a review and comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different sequencing technologies. Finally, we focused on the progress of SMRT sequencing applications in genetic disease detection. Future perspectives on the applications of TGS in other fields were also presented. With the continuous innovation of the SMRT technologies and the expansion of their fields of application, SMRT sequencing has broad clinical application prospects in genetic diseases detection, and is expected to become an important tool for the molecular diagnosis of other diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paeonia veitchii Lynch, a well-known herb from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau south of the Himalayas, can synthesize specific monoterpene glycosides (PMGs) with multiple pharmacological activities, and its rhizome has become an indispensable ingredient in many clinical drugs. However, little is known about the molecular background of P. veitchii, especially the genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of PMGs. RESULTS A corrective full-length transcriptome with 30,827 unigenes was generated by combining next-generation sequencing (NGS) and single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) of six tissues (leaf, stem, petal, ovary, phloem and xylem). The enzymes terpene synthase (TPS), cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT), and BAHD acyltransferase, which participate in the biosynthesis of PMGs, were systematically characterized, and their functions related to PMG biosynthesis were analysed. With further insight into TPSs, CYPs, UGTs and BAHDs involved in PMG biosynthesis, the weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) method was used to identify the relationships between these genes and PMGs. Finally, 8 TPSs, 22 CYPs, 7 UGTs, and 2 BAHD genes were obtained, and these putative genes were very likely to be involved in the biosynthesis of PMGs. In addition, the expression patterns of the putative genes and the accumulation of PMGs in tissues suggested that all tissues are capable of biosynthesizing PMGs and that aerial plant parts could also be used to extract PMGs. CONCLUSION We generated a large-scale transcriptome database across the major tissues in P. veitchii, providing valuable support for further research investigating P. veitchii and understanding the genetic information of plants from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. TPSs, CYPs, UGTs and BAHDs further contribute to a better understanding of the biology and complexity of PMGs in P. veitchii. Our study will help reveal the mechanisms underlying the biosynthesis pathway of these specific monoterpene glycosides and aid in the comprehensive utilization of this multifunctional plant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pagiophloeus tsushimanus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), an emerging forest pest exclusively infesting camphor trees, has recently caused severe ecological and economic damage in localized areas in China. Its population outbreak depends largely on the capacity to overcome the pressure of terpenoid-derived metabolites (e.g. linalool) from camphor trees. At present, the molecular basis of physiological adaptation of P. tsushimanus to dietary linalool is poorly understood, and there is no available reference genome or transcriptome. RESULTS Herein, we constructed the transcriptome profiling of P. tsushimanus larvae reared on linalool-infused diets using RNA sequencing and single-molecule real-time sequencing. A total of 20,325 high-quality full-length transcripts were identified as a reference transcriptome, of which 14,492 protein-coding transcripts including 130 transcription factors (TFs), and 5561 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were detected. Also, 30 alternative splicing events and 8049 simple sequence repeats were captured. Gene ontology enrichment of differential expressed transcripts revealed that overall up-regulation of both cytochrome P450s (CYP450s) and cuticular proteins (CPs), was the primary response characteristic against dietary linalool. Other physiological effects possibly caused by linalool exposure, such as increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and hormetic stimulation, were compensated by a handful of induced genes encoding antioxidases, heat shock proteins (HSPs), juvenile hormone (JH) epoxide hydrolases, and digestive enzymes. Additionally, based on co-expression networks analysis, a diverse array of hub lncRNAs and TFs co-expressed with CYP450s and CPs were screened as the potential gene regulators. Temporal expression of candidate transcripts determined by quantitative real-time PCR also indicated a cooperative relationship between the inductions of CYP450s and CPs upon exposure to linalool. CONCLUSIONS Our present study provides an important transcriptome resource of P. tsushimanus, and lays a valuable foundation for understanding how this specialist pest copes with chemical challenges in its specific host environments.

Abstract
This study investigated the community composition of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from yaks' milk (YM) Tibetan yellow cattle milk (TM) and their fermented products from different counties in the Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet using Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing. Sequencing revealed 26 genera and 94 species from 71 dairy samples; amongst these Lactobacillus delbrueckii (36.17%), Streptococcus thermophilus (19.46%) and Lactococcus lactis (18.33%) were the predominant species. This study also identified the main factors influencing LAB community composition by comparing amongst samples from different locations, from different milk types, and from different altitudes. The LAB communities in YM and TM were more diverse than in fermented yaks' milk (FYM) and fermented Tibetan yellow cattle milk (FTM) samples. Similarly, whether milk was fermented or not accounted for differences in LAB species composition while altitude of the dairy products had very little effect. Milk source and production process were the most likely causes of drastic shifts in microbial community composition. In addition, fermented dairy products were enriched in genes responsible for secondary metabolic pathways that were potentially beneficial for health. Comprehensive descriptions of the microbiota in different dairy products from the Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet might help elucidate evolutionary and functional relationships amongst bacterial communities in these products.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cupressaceae is the second largest family of coniferous trees (Coniferopsida) with important economic and ecological values. However, like other conifers, the members of Cupressaceae have extremely large genome (> 8 gigabytes), which limited the researches of these taxa. A high-quality transcriptome is an important resource for gene discovery and annotation for non-model organisms. DATA DESCRIPTION Juniperus squamata, a tetraploid species which is widely distributed in Asian mountains, represents the largest genus, Juniperus, in Cupressaceae. Single-molecule real-time sequencing was used to obtain full-length transcriptome of Juniperus squamata. The full-length transcriptome was corrected with Illumina RNA-seq data from the same individual. A total of 47,860 non-redundant full-length transcripts, N50 of which was 2839, were obtained. A total of 57,393 simple sequence repeats were identified and 268,854 open reading frames were predicted for Juniperus squamata. A BLAST alignment against non-redundant protein database was conducted and 10,818 sequences were annotated in Gene Ontology database. InterPro analysis shows that 30,403 sequences have been functionally characterized against its member database. This data presents the first comprehensive transcriptome characterization of Juniperus species, and provides an important reference for researches on the genomics and evolutionary history of Cupressaceae plants and conifers in the future.

Abstract
Understanding the bacterial community structure of the river estuary could provide insights into the resident microorganisms in response to environmental pollution. In this study, the bacterial community structure of Liaohe Estuary was investigated using single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT). A total of 57 samples were collected and grouped according to habitat, space, season, and lifestyle. In seawater, regardless of whether it is particle-attached (PA) or free-living (FL) bacteria, the area with higher alpha diversity is the nearshore area in the dry season, while it is the midstream area in the wet season. The bacterial communities in sediment and seawater samples were different at the genus level in the nearshore area, and habitat type was the main factor. A marked difference in the bacterial community was observed in the dry season between different lifestyles but not in the wet season, which resulted from lifestyle transitions of bacterioplankton. Bacterial community varied spatially but not seasonally in sediment samples. In seawater, both FL and PA bacterial communities varied spatially during the wet season. Seasonal differences were only observed in FL bacterial community. Zn and sand were the principal determining factors of the bacterial community in the sediment, Cu and salinity were the main environmental factors for FL bacteria, and Cu, salinity, Zn and temperature were the main environmental factors for PA bacteria. Besides, the tide and nutrients were also the main drivers of the bacterial community in seawater. The indicative taxa, related to Cyanobium_PCC-6307, Pseudomonas and Vibrio, further evidenced the presence of possible bloom, crude oil and pathogen contamination. Overall, our results can contribute to the knowledge of the bacterial community and anthropogenic impacts on the Liaohe Estuary.

Abstract
Background Freezing injury, which is an important abiotic stress in horticultural crops, influences the growth and development and the production area of kiwifruit (Actinidia Lind1). Among Actinidia species, Actinidia arguta has excellent cold resistance, but knowledge relevant to molecular mechanisms is still limited. Understanding the mechanism underlying cold resistance in kiwifruit is important for breeding cold resistance. Results In our study, a population resulting from the cross of A. arguta ‘Ruby-3’ × ‘Kuilv’ male was generated for kiwifruit hardiness study, and 20 cold-tolerant and 20 cold-sensitive populations were selected from 492 populations according to their LT50. Then, we performed bulked segregant RNA-seq combined with single-molecule real-time sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes that provide cold hardiness. We found that the content of soluble sucrose and the activity of β-amylase were higher in the cold-tolerant population than in the cold-sensitive population. Upon − 30 °C low-temperature treatment, 126 differentially expressed genes were identify; the expression of 59 genes was up-regulated and that of 67 genes was down-regulated between the tolerant and sensitive pools, respectively. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the DEGs were primarily related to starch and sucrose metabolism, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. Ten major key enzyme-encoding genes and two regulatory genes were up-regulated in the tolerant pool, and regulatory genes of the CBF pathway were found to be differentially expressed. In particular, a 14–3-3 gene was down-regulated and an EBF gene was up-regulated. To validate the BSR-Seq results, 24 DEGs were assessed via qRT-PCR, and the results were consistent with those obtained by BSR-Seq. Conclusion Our research provides valuable insights into the mechanism related to cold resistance in Actinidia and identified potential genes that are important for cold resistance in kiwifruit.

Abstract
Acquisition of high-quality bacterial genomes is fundamental, while having in mind investigation of subtitle intraspecies variation in addition to development of sensitive species-specific tools for detection and identification of the pathogens. In this view, Pacific Biosciences technology seems highly tempting taking into consideration over 10,000 bp length of the generated reads. In this work, we describe a bacterial genome assembly pipeline based on open-source software that might be handled also by non-bioinformaticians interested in transformation of sequencing data into reliable biological information. With the use of this method, we successfully closed six Dickeya solani genomes, while the assembly process was run just on a slightly improved desktop computer.

Abstract
Opisina arenosella is one of the main pests harming coconut trees. To date, there have been few studies on the molecular genetics, biochemistry and physiology of O. arenosella at the transcriptional level, and there are no available reference genomes. Here, Illumina RNA sequencing combined with PacBio single-molecule real-time analysis was applied to study the transcriptome of this pest at different developmental stages, providing reference data for transcript expression analysis. Twelve samples of O. arenosella from different stages of development were sequenced using Illumina RNA sequencing, and the pooled RNA samples were sequenced with PacBio technology (Iso-Seq). A full-length transcriptome with 41,938 transcripts was captured, and the N50 and N90 lengths were 3543 bp and 1646 bp, respectively. A total of 36,925 transcripts were annotated in public databases, 6493 of which were long noncoding RNAs, while 2510 represented alternative splicing events. There were significant differences in the gene expression profiles at different developmental stages, with high levels of differential gene expression associated with growth, development, carbohydrate metabolism and immunity. This work provides resources and information for the study of the transcriptome and gene function of O. arenosella and provides a valuable foundation for understanding the changes in gene expression during development.

Abstract
Background Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) is considered one of the most valuable plants because of the steviol glycosides (SGs) that can be extracted from its leaves. Glycosyltransferases (GTs), which can transfer sugar moieties from activated sugar donors onto saccharide and nonsaccharide acceptors, are widely distributed in the genome of S. rebaudiana and play important roles in the synthesis of steviol glycosides. Results Six stevia genotypes with significantly different concentrations of SGs were obtained by induction through various mutagenic methods, and the contents of seven glycosides (stevioboside, Reb B, ST, Reb A, Reb F, Reb D and Reb M) in their leaves were considerably different. Then, NGS and single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing were combined to analyse leaf tissue from these six different genotypes to generate a full-length transcriptome of S. rebaudiana. Two phylogenetic trees of glycosyltransferases (SrUGTs) were constructed by the neighbour-joining method and successfully predicted the functions of SrUGTs involved in SG biosynthesis. With further insight into glycosyltransferases (SrUGTs) involved in SG biosynthesis, the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) method was used to characterize the relationships between SrUGTs and SGs, and forty-four potential SrUGTs were finally obtained, including SrUGT85C2, SrUGT74G1, SrUGT76G1 and SrUGT91D2, which have already been reported to be involved in the glucosylation of steviol glycosides, illustrating the reliability of our results. Conclusion Combined with the results obtained by previous studies and those of this work, we systematically characterized glycosyltransferases in S. rebaudiana and forty-four candidate SrUGTs involved in the glycosylation of steviol glucosides were obtained. Moreover, the full-length transcriptome obtained in this study will provide valuable support for further research investigating S. rebaudiana.

Abstract
Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fatal hematopoietic malignancy and has a prognosis that varies with its genetic complexity. However, there has been no appropriate integrative analysis on the hierarchy of different AML subtypes. Methods Using Microwell-seq, a high-throughput single-cell mRNA sequencing platform, we analyzed the cellular hierarchy of bone marrow samples from 40 patients and 3 healthy donors. We also used single-cell single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing to investigate the clonal heterogeneity of AML cells. Results From the integrative analysis of 191727 AML cells, we established a single-cell AML landscape and identified an AML progenitor cell cluster with novel AML markers. Patients with ribosomal protein high progenitor cells had a low remission rate. We deduced two types of AML with diverse clinical outcomes. We traced mitochondrial mutations in the AML landscape by combining Microwell-seq with SMRT sequencing. We propose the existence of a phenotypic “cancer attractor” that might help to define a common phenotype for AML progenitor cells. Finally, we explored the potential drug targets by making comparisons between the AML landscape and the Human Cell Landscape. Conclusions We identified a key AML progenitor cell cluster. A high ribosomal protein gene level indicates the poor prognosis. We deduced two types of AML and explored the potential drug targets. Our results suggest the existence of a cancer attractor.

Abstract
Spartina alterniflora (Spartina) is the only halophyte in the salt marsh. However, the molecular basis of its high salt tolerance remains elusive. In this study, we used Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) full-length single-molecule long-read sequencing and RNA-seq to elucidate the transcriptome dynamics of high salt tolerance in Spartina by salt gradient experiments. High-quality unigenes, transcription factors, non-coding RNA and Spartina-specific transcripts were identified. Co-expression network analysis found that protein kinase-encoding genes (SaOST1, SaCIPK10 and SaLRRs) are hub genes in the salt tolerance regulatory network. High salt stress induced the expression of transcription factors but repressed the expression of long non-coding RNAs. The Spartina transcriptome is closer to rice than Arabidopsis, and a higher proportion of transporter and transcription factor-encoding transcripts have been found in Spartina. Transcriptome analysis showed that high salt stress induced the expression of carbohydrate metabolism, especially cell-wall biosynthesis-related genes in Spartina, and repressed its expression in rice. Compared with rice, high salt stress highly induced the expression of stress response, protein modification and redox-related gene expression and greatly inhibited translation in Spartina. High salt stress also induced alternative splicing in Spartina, while differentially expressed alternative splicing events associated with photosynthesis were overrepresented in Spartina but not in rice. Finally, we built the SAPacBio website for visualizing full-length transcriptome sequences, transcription factors, ncRNAs, salt-tolerant genes and alternative splicing events in Spartina. Overall, this study suggests that the salt tolerance mechanism in Spartina is different from rice in many aspects and is far more complex than expected.

Abstract
Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing can be used to identify a wide variety of chemical modifications of the genome, such as methylation. Here, we applied this approach to identify N6-methyl-adenine (m6A) and N4-methyl-cytosine (m4C) modification in the genome of Bacillus pumilus BA06. A typical methylation recognition motif of the type I restriction-modification system (R-M), 5'-TCm6AN8TTGG-3'/3'-AGTN8m6AACC-5', was identified. We confirmed that this motif was a new type I methylation site using REBASE analysis and that it was recognized by a type I R-M system, Bpu6ORFCP, according to methylation sensitivity assays in vivo and vitro. Furthermore, we found that deletion of the R-M system Bpu6ORFCP induced transcriptional changes in many genes and led to increased gene expression in pathways related to ABC transporters, sulfur metabolism, ribosomes, cysteine and methionine metabolism and starch and sucrose metabolism, suggesting that the R-M system in B. pumilus BA06 has other significant biological functions beyond protecting the B. pumilus BA06 genome from foreign DNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pinellia ternata is native to China and has been used as a traditional herb due to its antiemetic, antitussive, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. When exposed to strong light intensity and high temperature during the reproductive growth process, P. ternata withers in a phenomenon known as "sprout tumble", which largely limits tuber production. Shade was previously found to delay sprout tumble formation (STF); however, no information exists regarding this process at the molecular level. Hence, we determined the genes involved in tuber development and STF in P. ternata. RESULTS Compared to that with natural sun-light (control), shade significantly induced chlorophyll accumulation, increased chlorophyll fluorescence parameters including initial fluorescence, maximal fluorescence, and qP, and dramatically repressed chlorophyll a:b and NPQ. Catalase (CAT) activity was largely induced by shade, and tuber products were largely increased in this environment. Transcriptome profiles of P. ternata grown in natural sun-light and shaded environments were analyzed by a combination of next generation sequencing (NGS) and third generation single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing. Corrections of SMRT long reads based on NGS short reads yielded 136,163 non-redundant transcripts, with an average N50 length of 2578 bp. In total, 6738 deferentially-expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained from the comparisons, specifically D5S vs D5CK, D20S vs D20CK, D20S vs D5S, and D20CK vs D5CK, of which, 6384 DEGs (94.8%) were generated from the D20S vs D20CK comparison. Gene annotation and functional analyses revealed that these genes were related to auxin signal transduction, polysaccharide and sugar metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and photosynthesis. Moreover, the expression of genes enriched in photosynthesis appeared to be significantly altered by shade. The expression patterns of 16 candidate genes were consistent with changes in their transcript abundance as identified by RNA-Seq, and these might contribute to STF and tuber production. CONCLUSION The full-length transcripts identified in this study have provided a more accurate depiction of P. ternata gene transcription. Further, we identified potential genes involved in STF and tuber growth. Such data could serve as a genetic resource and a foundation for further research on this important traditional herb.

Abstract
Background Sulforaphane is a natural isothiocyanate available from cruciferous vegetables with multiple characteristics including antioxidant, antitumor and anti-inflammatory effect. Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing has been used for long-read de novo assembly of plant genome. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism related to glucosinolates biosynthesis in Chinese kale using combined NGS and SMRT sequencing. Results SMRT sequencing produced 185,134 unigenes, higher than 129,325 in next-generation sequencing (NGS). NaCl (75 mM), methyl jasmonate (MeJA, 40 μM), selenate (Se, sodium selenite 100 μM), and brassinolide (BR, 1.5 μM) treatment induced 6893, 13,287, 13,659 and 11,041 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Chinese kale seedlings comparing with control. These genes were associated with pathways of glucosinolates biosynthesis, including phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, cysteine and methionine metabolism, and glucosinolate biosynthesis. We found NaCl decreased sulforaphane and glucosinolates (indolic and aliphatic) contents and downregulated expression of cytochrome P45083b1 (CYP83b1), S-alkyl-thiohydroximatelyase or carbon–sulfur lyase (SUR1) and UDP-glycosyltransferase 74B1 (UGT74b1). MeJA increased sulforaphane and glucosinolates contents and upregulated the expression of CYP83b1, SUR1 and UGT74b1; Se increased sulforaphane; BR increased expression of CYP83b1, SUR1 and UGT74b1, and increased glucosinolates contents. The desulfoglucosinolate sulfotransferases ST5a_b_c were decreased by all treatments. Conclusions We confirmed that NaCl inhibited the biosynthesis of both indolic and aliphatic glucosinolates, while MeJA and BR increased them. MeJA and BR treatments, conferred the biosynthesis of glucosinolates, and Se and MeJA contributed to sulforaphane in Chinese kale via regulating the expression of CYP83b1, SUR1 and UGT74b1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eukaryotes display remarkable genome plasticity, which can include supernumerary chromosomes that differ markedly from the core chromosomes. Despite the widespread occurrence of supernumerary chromosomes in fungi, their origin, relation to the core genome and the reason for their divergent characteristics are still largely unknown. The complexity of genome assembly due to the presence of repetitive DNA partially accounts for this. RESULTS Here we use single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing to assemble the genome of a prominent fungal wheat pathogen, Fusarium poae, including at least one supernumerary chromosome. The core genome contains limited transposable elements (TEs) and no gene duplications, while the supernumerary genome holds up to 25 % TEs and multiple gene duplications. The core genome shows all hallmarks of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP), a defense mechanism against TEs, specific for fungi. The absence of RIP on the supernumerary genome accounts for the differences between the two (sub)genomes, and results in a functional crosstalk between them. The supernumerary genome is a reservoir for TEs that migrate to the core genome, and even large blocks of supernumerary sequence (>200 kb) have recently translocated to the core. Vice versa, the supernumerary genome acts as a refuge for genes that are duplicated from the core genome. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, a mechanism was determined that explains the differences that exist between the core and supernumerary genome in fungi. Different biology rather than origin was shown to be responsible. A "living apart together" crosstalk exists between the core and supernumerary genome, accelerating chromosomal and organismal evolution.
