Disease resistance is one of the most complicated yet important plant traits. The potential functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in response to pathogenic fungi remain unclear. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of four different sea-island cotton ( Gossypium barbadense ) recombinant inbred lines (RILs) with susceptible, highly susceptible, highly resistant, or super highly resistant phenotypes and compared their responses to  Fusarium oxysporum  f. sp.  vasinfectum  ( Fov ) infection with those of their susceptible and resistant parents. Infection-induced protein coding genes were highly enriched in similar disease resistance-related pathways regardless of fungal susceptibility. In contrast, we found that the expression of a large number of  Fov  infection-induced lncRNAs was positively correlated with plant susceptibility. Bioinformatics analysis of potential target mRNAs of lncRNAs with both trans-acting and cis-acting mechanisms showed that mRNAs co-expressed or co-located with  Fov -regulated lncRNAs were highly enriched in disease resistance-related pathways, including glutathione metabolism, glycolysis, plant hormone signal transduction, anthocyanin biosynthesis, and butanoate metabolism. Together these results suggest that lncRNAs could play a significant role in the response to pathogenic fungal infection and the establishment of disease resistance. The transcriptional regulation of these infection-susceptible lncRNAs could be coordinated with infection-susceptible mRNAs and integrated into a regulatory network to modulate plant-pathogen interactions and disease resistance.  Fov -susceptible lncRNAs represent a novel class of molecular markers for breeding of  Fov -resistant cotton cultivars.
