The Genome-Wide Identification of Long Non-Coding RNAs Involved in Floral Thermogenesis in Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.

ABSTRACT: The sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) can maintain a stable floral chamber temperature when blooming, despite ambient temperature fluctuations; however, the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in floral thermogenesis remain unclear. In the present study, we obtain comprehensive lncRNAs expression profiles from receptacles at five developmental stages by strand-specific RNA sequencing to reveal the lncRNAs regulatory mechanism of the floral thermogenesis of N. nucifera. A total of 22,693 transcripts were identified as lncRNAs, of which approximately 44.78% had stage-specific expression patterns. Subsequently, we identified 2579 differential expressed lncRNAs (DELs) regulating 2367 protein-coding genes mainly involved in receptacle development and reproductive process
