Genome-wide discovery and characterization of flower development related long non-coding RNAs in Prunus mume.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts more than 200 bp in length do not encode proteins. Up to the present, it has been reported that lncRNAs play an essential role in developmental processes through their regulatory functions. However, their characteristics, expression inheritance patterns, and functions in Prunus mume are quite unidentified.

Results

In this present study, we exposed the specific characters of pistil development process between single pistil cv 'Qingjia No.2' (QJN2) and multiple pistils cv 'Da Yu' (DY). We found that early October is the key stage for pistil differentiation. The similarity epidermis was observed between two types of pistil. We also further investigated a complete pistil development lncRNA profiles through RNA-seq in Prun
