Coding and long non-coding RNAs provide evidence of distinct transcriptional reprogramming for two ecotypes of the extremophile plant Eutrema salsugineum undergoing water deficit stress

**Background:** The severity and frequency of drought has increased around the globe, creating challenges in ensuring food security for a growing world population. As a consequence, improving water use efficiency by crops has become an important …

Molecular traits of long non-protein coding RNAs from diverse plant species show little evidence of phylogenetic relationships

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a diverse class of regulatory loci with roles in development and stress responses throughout all kingdoms of life. LncRNAs, however, remain under-studied in plants compared to animal systems. To address this …

Using machine learning to predict long non-coding RNAs and exploring their evolutionary patterns and prevalence in plant transcriptomes

Local adaptation in the extremophile Eutrema salsugineum: Exploring the role of putative lncRNAs

Eutrema salsugineum is a halophyte that is tolerant to abiotic stresses such as nutritional deficiencies, cold tem- peratures, and drought, and has been used as a model plant for stress tolerance research. Most studies have fo- cused on the Shandong …
