Genome-wide analysis of long non-coding RNAs in Catalpa bungei and their potential function in floral transition using high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have crucial roles in various biological regulatory processes. However, the study of lncRNAs is limited in woody plants. Catalpa bungei is a valuable ornamental tree with a long cultivation history in China, and a deeper understanding of the floral transition mechanism in C. bungei would be interesting from both economic and scientific perspectives.

Results

In this study, we categorized C. bungei buds from early flowering (EF) and normal flowering (NF) varieties into three consecutive developmental stages. These buds were used to systematically study lncRNAs during floral transition using high-throughput sequencing to identify molecular regulatory networks. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to study RNA expression changes in d
