Non-coding RNA expression analysis revealed the molecular mechanism of flag leaf heterosis in inter-subspecific hybrid rice.

ABSTRACT: Heterosis has been used widespread in agriculture, but its molecular mechanism is inadequately understood. Plants have a large number of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), among them, functional ncRNAs that have been studied widely containing long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) that play a role in varied biological processes, as well as microRNA (miRNA), which can not only regulate the post-transcriptional expression of target genes, but also target lncRNA and circRNA then participate the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network. However, the influence of these three ncRNAs and their regulatory relationships on heterosis is unknown in rice. In this study, the expression profile of ncRNAs and the ncRNA regulatory network related to heterosis were comprehensively analyz
