Abstract
Global warming is a devastating force that considerably hinders the growth, quality and yield of heading type Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis). Recent research suggests that long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs) play a role in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. In this study, a total of 278 lncRNAs belonging to intergenic, intronic, sense and natural antisense lncRNAs in the heading type Chinese cabbage using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data were identified. Based on the analysis of the differentially expressed lncRNAs, 93 out of 278 lncRNAs were identified as heat-responsive lncRNAs. In total, 65 heat-responsive lncRNAs were predicted as putative targets and target mimics of B. rapa microRNAs (miRNAs). In addition, it was found that some identified lncRNAs play important role in response to heat stress via lncRNA-messenger RNA (mRNA) (lncRNA.Brassica_094-DnaJ protein and lncRNA.Brassica_181-REF4-related 1) co-expression, whereas some lncRNA-miRNA (lncRNA-Brassica_116-bra-miR164a and lncRNA-Brassica_205-bra-miR159) interactions are required for modulation of miRNA action. Taken together, these results provide the starting point for a detailed investigation of the physiological function of the lncRNA-dependent network in heading type Chinese cabbage.
期刊介绍:
Zemdirbyste-Agriculture is a quarterly scientific journal which covers a wide range of topics in the field of agricultural sciences, agronomy. It publishes articles of original research findings in the English language in the field of agronomy (soil and crop management, crop production, plant protection, plant breeding and genetics, biotechnology, plant nutrition, agrochemistry, soil science, microbiology etc.) and related areas. Articles are peer-reviewed. Review, debating papers as well as those of a methodological nature will also be considered.
