LncRNAs involved in the Shade Avoidance Syndrome (SAS) in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important regulatory roles in responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses, including light quality. However, no lncRNAs have been specifically linked to the Shade Avoidance Response (SAS).

Results

To better understand the involvement of lncRNAs in shade avoidance, we examined RNA-seq libraries for lncRNAs with the potential to function in the neighbor proximity phenomenon in Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana). Using transcriptomes generated from seedlings exposed to high and low red/far-red (R/FR) light conditions, we identified 13 lncRNA genes differentially expressed in cotyledons and 138 in hypocotyls. To infer possible functions for these lncRNAs, we used a 'guilt-by-association' approach to identify genes co-expr
