Article Synopsis
- Alternative polyadenylation (APA), alternative splicing (AS), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation during xylem development in Dalbergia odorifera, a valuable rosewood species.
- Using Isoform Sequencing and RNA sequencing, researchers identified 14,938 full-length transcripts, including many novel isoforms, revealing significant gene modifications related to APA, AS, and lncRNAs during xylem development.
- Findings indicate that differentially regulated genes and lncRNAs are linked to processes like terpenoid and flavonoid metabolism, suggesting important roles in heartwood formation and providing insights for future breeding efforts in this species.
Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that play an important role in wood formation in plants. However, the significance of the link between miRNAs and their target transcripts in wood formation remains unclear in rubber tree ().
Methods: In this study, we induced the formation of reaction wood by artificially bending rubber trees for 300 days and performed small RNA sequencing and transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) to describe the complement of miRNAs and their targets contributing to this process.
Given the importance of wood in many industrial applications, much research has focused on wood formation, especially lignin biosynthesis. However, the mechanisms governing the regulation of lignin biosynthesis in the rubber tree () remain to be elucidated. Here, we gained insight into the mechanisms of rubber tree lignin biosynthesis using reaction wood (wood with abnormal tissue structure induced by gravity or artificial mechanical treatment) as an experimental model.
