Genome-wide identification of long non-coding RNA targets of the tomato MADS box transcription factor RIN and function analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

In recent years, increasing numbers of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in humans, animals and plants, and several of them have been shown to play important roles in diverse biological processes. However, little work has been performed on the regulation mechanism of lncRNA biogenesis and expression, especially in plants. Compared with studies of tomato MADS-box transcription factor RIPENING INHIBITOR (RIN) target coding genes, there are few reports on its relationship to non-coding RNAs. The aim of the present study was to identify and explore the specific role of RIN target lncRNAs in tomato fruit development and ripening.

Methods

lncRNA targets of RIN were identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) combined with
