Genome wide identification of natural antisense transcript (NAT) pairs in Nip, BJ89, and BJ278. a, b Expression patterns. Red and blue lines represent up- and downregulated genes, respectively, under drought stress respectively. Yellow lines indicate the genomic positions of NAT pairs. (a) and Venn diagrams (b) of differentially expressed lncRNAs in the three accessions. c Genome-wide distribution of NAT pairs and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under drought stress conditions. d Classification of NAT pairs according to their direction of transcription and the overlap region between sense and antisense transcripts. Orange arrows indicate sense transcripts, and blue arrows indicate antisense transcripts
