Long non-coding RNA transcriptome database of Malus sieversii infected with Valsa mali

Malus sieversii (Xinjiang wild apple) is the ancestral species of cultivated apples worldwide, boasting abundant genetic resources and serving as a high-quality gene bank for the molecular breeding of cultivated apples. The data presented herein is the lncRNA transcriptome data obtained via PacBio sequencing technology, following the infection of M. sieversii branches with Valsa mali (causal agent of Valsa canker). Compared with lncRNA research in animals, studies on plant lncRNAs are relatively scarce, and those focusing on woody plants are even rarer. Therefore, this dataset can enrich the lncRNA data of woody plants and lay a foundation for lncRNA research in apples.
