AI Article Synopsis
- Advances in next-generation sequencing have led to the discovery of numerous non-protein-coding transcripts, especially long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are important regulatory RNA molecules in various organisms.
- While there has been extensive research on animal lncRNAs, plant lncRNAs have received less attention, despite evidence showing their involvement in critical processes like growth, reproduction, and stress responses in major crops.
- The review highlights recent findings on plant lncRNAs, outlines strategies for future research, and addresses challenges and opportunities that could improve our understanding of lncRNA functions in crop genetics and breeding.
Article Abstract
With the rapid advances in next-generation sequencing technology, numerous non-protein-coding transcripts have been identified, including long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are functional RNAs comprising more than 200 nucleotides. Although lncRNA-mediated regulatory processes have been extensively investigated in animals, there has been considerably less research on plant lncRNAs. Nevertheless, multiple studies on major crops showed lncRNAs are involved in crucial processes, including growth and development, reproduction, and stress responses. This review summarizes the progress in the research on lncRNA roles in several major crops, presents key strategies for exploring lncRNAs in crops, and discusses current challenges and future prospects. The insights provided in this review will enhance our comprehension of lncRNA functions in crops, with potential implications for improving crop genetics and breeding.
