| Abstract: |
| With the advances in genomics and bioinformatics techniques, particularly high-throughput sequencing technology, many transcriptional units without protein-coding potential have been discovered. Among them, long non-coding RNAs（lncRNAs）are non-coding RNAs that are longer than 200 nt in length, which have unique secondary structures and do not encode proteins. lncRNAs can function in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. A lot of evidence shows that more and more people have put great attention to the importance of lncRNAs as they are regarded as regulators of almost every cellular process. LncRNAs primarily interact with mRNA, DNA, protein, and miRNA and consequently regulate gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels in may ways. LncRNAs-mediated regulation in animals has been extensively studied, while the research on lncRNAs in plants is just beginning. Recently, many new research results have shown that lncRNAs play a very important role in the process of plant stress, growth and system evolution. This article mainly summarizes the source and classification of lncRNAs and the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs in plant development, and lists the main database resources that can be used for the analysis of plant lncRNAs. In addition, the research situation of lncRNAs in major crops such as corn, rice and wheat are summarized to provide a certain reference for future exploration on the mechanism of plant lncRNAs and its application in crops. |
