CDKN2A and infection: LncRNA25980 was upregulated 1.97-fold after infection, whereas the expression level of its target gene EIN3 showed the opposite trend (0.38-fold) (Figure 6B), showing the inconsistent expression pattern between lncRNA25980 and EIN3. Additionally, the genes associated with auxin, such as auxin response factor (ARF) and auxin-responsive Gretchen Hagen 3 (GH3), and those associated with ethylene, such as ethylene receptor (ETR) and ethylene insensitive 2 (EIN2), were downregulated 0.37-, 0.53-, 0.51-, and 0.38-fold after infection, respectively (Figures 6A, B).
