Genome-wide profiling of long noncoding RNAs involved in wheat spike development.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. Recent transcriptomic analyses have revealed the gene expression profiling in wheat spike development, however, the possible regulatory roles of lncRNAs in wheat spike morphogenesis remain largely unclear.

Results

Here, we analyzed the genome-wide profiling of lncRNAs during wheat spike development at six stages, and identified a total of 8,889 expressed lncRNAs, among which 2,753 were differentially expressed lncRNAs (DE lncRNAs) at various developmental stages. Three hundred fifteen differentially expressed cis- and trans-regulatory lncRNA-mRNA pairs comprised of 205 lncRNAs and 279 genes were predicted, which were found to be mainly involved
