Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various regulatory processes although they do not encode protein. Presently, there is little information regarding the identification of lncRNAs in peanut ( Linn.). In this study, 50,873 lncRNAs of peanut were identified from large-scale published RNA sequencing data that belonged to 124 samples involving 15 different tissues. The average lengths of lncRNA and mRNA were 4335 bp and 954 bp, respectively. Compared to the mRNAs, the lncRNAs were shorter, with fewer exons and lower expression levels. The 4713 co-expression lncRNAs (expressed in all samples) were used to construct co-expression networks by using the weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). LncRNAs correlating with the growth and development of different peanut tissues were obtained, and target genes for 386 hub lncRNAs of all lncRNAs co-expressions were predicted. Taken together, these findings can provide a comprehensive identification of lncRNAs in peanut.

Alternative splicing (AS), an important post-transcriptional regulation mechanism in eukaryotes, can significantly increase transcript diversity and contribute to gene expression regulation and many other complicated developmental processes. While plant gene AS events are well described, few studies have investigated the comprehensive regulation machinery of plant AS. Here, we use multi-omics to analyse peanut AS events.

Allergy is a type 2 immune reaction triggered by antigens known as allergens, including food and environmental substances such as peanuts, plant pollen, fungal spores, and the feces and debris of mites and insects. Macrophages are myeloid immune cells with phagocytic abilities that process exogenous and endogenous antigens. Upon activation, they can produce effector molecules such as cytokines as well as anti-inflammatory molecules.

Background: Peanut allergy (PA) has become a clinical and public health problem, which is mainly regulated by genetics, immune responses, and environmental factors. Diagnosis and treatment for PA have always remained huge challenges due to its multiple triggers. Studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in the development of allergic diseases.

Background: Peanut is the most essential oil and food crop globally due to its high oil and protein content. Root-knot nematode infects peanut roots, causing poor development and severely limiting peanut yields worldwide. The discovery of peanut genome identified a considerable number of genetic loci controlling the peanut root-knot nematode; however, the molecular mechanism of root-knot nematode remains unknown.

Drought stress has been the major constraint on peanut yield and quality, and an understanding of the function of long non-coding (lncRNAs) in the peanut drought stress response is still in its infancy. In this study, two peanut varieties with contrasting drought tolerance were used to explore the functions of lncRNAs in the peanut drought response, and the results showed that the drought-tolerant variety presented greater antioxidant enzyme activity, osmotic adjustment ability, and photosynthesis under drought conditions. There were 4329 lncRNAs identified in the two varieties, of which 535 and 663 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in NH5 and FH18, respectively.
