CP25043The role of wheat long intergenic non-coding RNAs in drought stress
As a polygenic stress, drought poses one of the major threats to crop yields in agriculture. Advances in sequencing technology have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in plant growth and stress responses. Differential expression analysis showed 310 differentially expressed lincRNAs (DE-lincRNAs). Functional enrichment annotation and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analyses were employed to explore the regulatory responses of lincRNAs during drought stress, which is important for the breeding of drought-resistant wheat varieties.
