Abstract:

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a kind of non-coding RNA, whose transcript length are longer than 200 nt. LncRNAs have been reported involved in various biological processes in animals and plants, in spite of its lower expression and conservation than protein-coding mRNA. Plant lncRNAs did not attract phytologists attention widely until recent years. Here, we reviewed the functionally verified lncRNAs engaged in growth, development, reproduction, response to abiotic stress, disease and insect resistance regulation in plants. Additionally, the mechanisms of plant lncRNAs were discussed according to their origins from the genome. This review will guide for further discovering, and functionally identifying and characterizing new lncRNAs in plants.

Key words: plant, lncRNAs, development, stress, molecular mechanism
