Recent Advances of Non-coding RNA in Plant Growth,Development and Stress Response
Non-coding RNA(ncRNA)is a class of RNA molecules that do not have the ability of protein coding but have a variety of biological functions,and widely exist in various organisms.With the continuous improvement of high-throughput sequencing technology,a large number of ncRNAs have been identified,and their functions and mechanisms of action are gradually being elucidated.A large number of studies have shown that ncRNAs play an important role in plant growth,development and response to stress.Although there are many reviews on the regulation of plant growth,development and stress response by a certain class of ncRNAs,it still lacks systematic and comprehensive summaries for all ncRNAs.This review first briefly introduced the classification and characterization of non-coding RNAs,followed by a focus on their roles in various stages of plant growth and development,such as seed dormancy and germination,root and leaf growth and development,flower and fruit development,fruit ripening.Furthermore,we summarized the functions and mecha-nisms of ncRNAs in response to stress.This review provides some theoretical references for improving varieties and improving the yield and quality of agricultural and forestry production.
