摘要:

环状RNA(circRNAs)是一类由共价键连接形成环形结构的单链内源性RNA分子。作为非编码RNA家族中重要的成员之一,近年来受到广泛的关注。现有研究已证实circRNAs广泛存在于真核生物中。高通量测序技术以及生物信息学的发展,极大地加速了circRNAs研究进展。研究表明,circRNAs具有结构稳定、序列保守以及组织/发育特异性表达等特点。目前,研究揭示circRNAs的主要功能包括作为miRNA的海绵、参与植物应激反应、调控亲本基因表达等。本文在总结其分类和主要特征的基础上,着重阐述了植物circRNAs的生物学功能,为circRNAs的进一步研究提供参考。

Abstract:

Circular RNAs(circRNAs)are covalently closed-loop single-stranded RNA molecules. As an important member of the endogenous noncoding family,circRNA has received more and more attention in recent years. circRNAs widely exist in higher eukaryotes. The studies of circRNAs have been accelerated by the combination of next generation sequencing,chemoinformatics and some other advanced technologies. Studies have shown that circRNAs are relatively stable and conserved molecules with cell-type-,tissue-,or developmental-stage-specific expression patterns. Until now,the functions of circRNAs include acting as miRNA sponges,coping with biotic or abiotic stresses and regulating parental gene transcription,etc. Here,we summarize the classification and characteristics of plant circRNAs,and highlight the progress on their biological functions and their applications as biomarkers in plant breeding and improvement of stress resistance. This article will provide a reference for the further study of circRNAs.
