doi:10.13560/j.cnki.biotech.bull.1985.2015.06.001

Abstract

Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)as newly discovered regulators for gene expression, participate in a wide range of biological processes in plants, and also could response to environmental stresses. In this review, we summarize the generation and classification of lncRNAs, the discovered lncRNAs in plants, their effects on the development processes of different organs in plants, as well as the relationship between lncRNA and small RNA, research methods, and issues in the current studies of lncRNAs.

Key words: plant lncRNA, biological function, research methods, miRNA
