Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are functional transcripts with minimal or no protein-coding
capacity that comprise a large portion of the plant transcriptome. Among them, the …

Chilling stress threatens the yield and distribution pattern of global crops, including the tea
plant (Camellia sinensis), one of the most important cash crops around the world. Circular …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that are more than 200
nucleotides in length. Emerging evidence suggest that lncRNAs by regulating gene …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are important regulators of diverse biological processes of plants.
However, the evolution and potential functions of circRNAs during winter dormancy and …

The accumulation of nutrients and flavors are important factors that determine the
consumption of tomato fruit. Carotenoids, polyphenol and vitamin C belong to antioxidant …

Plant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of gene
expression through various mechanisms viz. binding to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) …

Three gene families in plants viz. Argonaute (AGOs), Dicer-like (DCLs) and RNA dependent
