Analysis of lncRNAs in Lupinus mutabilis (Tarwi) and Their Potential Role in Drought Response.

ABSTRACT: Lupinus mutabilis is a legume with high agronomic potential and available transcriptomic data for which lncRNAs have not been studied. Therefore, our objective was to identify, characterize, and validate the drought-responsive lncRNAs in L. mutabilis. To achieve this, we used a multilevel approach based on lncRNA prediction, annotation, subcellular location, thermodynamic characterization, structural conservation, and validation. Thus, 590 lncRNAs were identified by at least two algorithms of lncRNA identification. Annotation with the PLncDB database showed 571 lncRNAs unique to tarwi and 19 lncRNAs with homology in 28 botanical families including Solanaceae (19), Fabaceae (17), Brassicaceae (17), Rutaceae (17), Rosaceae (16), and Malvaceae (16), among others. In total, 12 ln
