tropical and subtropical nations. Despite having significantly high yield, it is difficult to …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has significant role in of gene expression and silencing
pathways for several biological processes in eukaryotes. lncRNAs has been reported as key …

Infectious long-noncoding (lnc) RNAs related to plants can be of both viral and non-viral
origin. Viroids are infectious plant lncRNAs that are not related to viruses and carry the …
