Genome-wide investigation and functional analysis of RNA editing sites in wheat.

ABSTRACT: Wheat is an important cereal and half of the world population consumed it. Wheat faces environmental stresses and different techniques (CRISPR, gene silencing, GWAS, etc.) were used to enhance its production but RNA editing (RESs) is not fully explored in wheat. RNA editing has a special role in controlling environmental stresses. The genome-wide identification and functional characterization of RESs in different types of wheat genotypes was done. We employed six wheat genotypes by RNA-seq analyses to achieve RESs. The findings revealed that RNA editing events occurred on all chromosomes equally. RNA editing sites were distributed randomly and 10-12 types of RESs were detected in wheat genotypes. Higher number of RESs were detected in drought-tolerant genotypes. A-to-I RNA editing (2952, 2
