Identification of long non-coding RNA-microRNA-mRNA regulatory modules and their potential roles in drought stress response in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT: Drought is one of the most severe abiotic stresses that influence wheat production across the globe. Understanding the molecular regulatory network of wheat in response to drought is of great importance in molecular breeding. Noncoding RNAs influence plant development and resistance to abiotic stresses by regulating gene expression. In this study, whole-transcriptome sequencing was performed on the seedlings of two wheat varieties with contrasting levels of drought tolerance under drought and control conditions to identify long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), micro RNAs (miRNAs), and mRNAs related to drought stress and explore the potential lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory modules in controlling wheat drought stress response. A total of 1515 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), 209 differentiall
