“…A number of well-designed experiments in genome-wide transcriptome analysis for identifying differentially expressed genes and/or AS in tomato, a model plant specifically for fruit development, have been reported in recent few years. These studies include comparative transcriptome analysis of domesticated tomato for identifying differentially expressed genes in different tissues (Lopez-Casado et al, 2012; Koenig et al, 2013; Zouine et al, 2014; Sun and Xiao, 2015; Sundaresan et al, 2016; Wang K. et al, 2016; Zhang Y. et al, 2017), diurnal transcriptome changes (Higashi et al, 2016), global transcriptome profiles of tomato leaf responses to exogenous ABA or cytokinin (Wang et al, 2013; Shi et al, 2013), root transcriptome regulations in response to different plant hormone cytokinin and auxin (Gupta et al, 2013), transcriptome profiles with a focus on fruit development or in different fruit tissues (Ye et al, 2015; Zhang S. et al, 2016; Dai et al, 2017; Ezura et al, 2017) and fruit chilling tolerance (Cruz-MendĂvil et al, 2015). RNA-seq data were also collected for analysis of differential gene expressions in response to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) infection in the TYLCV-resistant (R) breeding line and TYLCV-susceptible breeding line (Chen et al, 2013), in response to tobacco rattle virus (TRV) (Zheng et al, 2017), Pseudomonas syringae (Yang et al, 2015; Worley et al, 2016), Xanthomonas perforans (Du et al, 2015), Cladosporium fulvum (Xue et al, 2016), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Alkan et al, 2015), Verticillium dahlia (Tan et al, 2015), Meloidogyne incognita (root-knot nematode) (Shukla et al, 2018) and in arbuscular mycorrhiza inoculated and control plants (Zouari et al, 2014).…”
