This article focuses on the molecular and hormonal mechanisms underlying the control of
fleshy fruit ripening and quality. Recent research on tomato shows that ethylene, acting …

LncRNAs have attracted lots of attentions from researchers worldwide in recent decades.
With the rapid advances in both experimental technology and computational prediction …

While long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) research in the past has primarily focused on the
discovery of novel genes, today it has shifted towards functional annotation of this large …

Highlights•Plant lncRNAs participate in regulation of transcription, splicing, and nuclear
structure.•In flowering, multiple lncRNAs act in silencing of FLC via diverse …

Inducible epigenetic changes in eukaryotes are believed to enable rapid adaptation to
environmental fluctuations. We have found distinct regions of the Arabidopsis genome that …

The extent to which alternative splicing and long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs)
contribute to the specialized functions of cells within an organ is poorly understood. We …

Eukaryotic genomes encode thousands of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which play crucial
roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Accumulating …

Background The immobile nature of plants means that they can be frequently confronted by
various biotic and abiotic stresses during their lifecycle. Among the various abiotic stresses …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with little or no
protein coding potential. The expanding list of lncRNAs and accumulating evidence of their …
