Abstract:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts with lengths of more than 200 nt and limited protein-coding potential. They were found to play important roles in plant stress responses. In this study, the maize drought-tolerant inbred line AC7643 and drought-sensitive inbred line AC7729/TZSRW, as well as their recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were selected to identify drought-responsive lncRNAs in roots. Compared with non-responsive lncRNAs, drought-responsive lncRNAs had different sequence characteristics in len… Show more
