Abstract

Over the past decade, accumulating evidence has shed light on the pivotal roles played by diverse classes of noncoding RNAs, including miRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, in regulating the plant growth and development. In-depth studies have revealed the regulatory functions of miRNAs and siRNAs in post-transcriptional gene regulation, highlighting their involvement in various developmental processes, stress responses, and hormone signaling pathways. Additionally, the emerging field of piRNAs has unveiled their crucial contributions to transposon silencing, genome stability maintenance, and reproductive development. The versatility of lncRNAs as regulators in chromatin remodeling, splicing regulation, and epigenetic modifications has been elucidated, alongside the functional significance of circular RNAs in alternative splicing regulation and gene expression control. Overall, this review article presents a significant advancement in our understanding of the intricate regulatory networks governing plant biology, with the potential to drive innovations in plant biotechnology, sustainable agriculture, and global food security.

植物非编码rna功能多样性的研究进展

在过去的十年中，越来越多的证据揭示了不同种类的非编码rna，包括mirna、sirna、pirna、lncrna和circrna，在调节植物生长发育中所起的关键作用。深入研究揭示了miRNAs和sirna在转录后基因调控中的调控功能，强调了它们参与多种发育过程、应激反应和激素信号通路。此外，新兴的pirna领域已经揭示了它们在转座子沉默、基因组稳定性维持和生殖发育方面的重要贡献。lncrna作为染色质重塑、剪接调控和表观遗传修饰调控的多功能性已经被阐明，以及环状rna在替代剪接调控和基因表达控制中的功能意义。总的来说，这篇综述文章在我们对植物生物学复杂的调控网络的理解方面取得了重大进展，具有推动植物生物技术、可持续农业和全球粮食安全创新的潜力。

期刊介绍： Ecological Genetics and Genomics publishes ecological studies of broad interest that provide significant insight into ecological interactions or/ and species diversification. New data in these areas are published as research papers, or methods and resource reports that provide novel information on technologies or tools that will be of interest to a broad readership. Complete data sets are shared where appropriate. The journal also provides Reviews, and Perspectives articles, which present commentary on the latest advances published both here and elsewhere, placing such progress in its broader biological context. Topics include: -metagenomics -population genetics/genomics -evolutionary ecology -conservation and molecular adaptation -speciation genetics -environmental and marine genomics -ecological simulation -genomic divergence of organisms
