The eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed. In addition to protein-coding RNAs,
thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) modulate key molecular and biological …

Many eukaryotes, including plants, produce a large number of long noncoding RNAs
(lncRNAs). Growing number of lncRNAs are being reported to have regulatory roles in …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been emerged as important players for various
biological pathways, including dosage compensation, genomic imprinting, chromatin …

Our understanding of gene regulation is constantly evolving. It is now clear that the majority
of cellular transcripts are non-coding RNAs. The spectrum of non-coding RNAs is diverse …

Plants have an extraordinary diversity of transcription machineries, including five nuclear
DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Four of these enzymes are dedicated to the production …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as functional regulatory
components in eukaryotic gene regulation. Distinct classes of lncRNAs have been identified …

Main conclusion Long non-coding RNAs modulate gene activity in plant development and
stress responses by various molecular mechanisms. Abstract Long non-coding RNAs …

High-throughput sequencing has revealed that the majority of RNAs have no capacity to
encode protein. Among these non-coding transcripts, recent work has focused on the roles …

During the process of growth and development, plants are prone to various biotic and abiotic
stresses. They have evolved a variety of strategies to resist the adverse effects of these …
