Fig. 7From: Genome-wide profiling of long noncoding RNAs involved in wheat spike developmentThe molecular regulation of lncRNAs during wheat spike development. LncRNAs participate in wheat spike development mainly by targeting the coding genes associated in stress responses (wound, nodulin, dehydrin, auxin, etc.), transcriptional regulation (TFs, chromatin, etc.), and metabolic regulation (sugar and lipid, etc.). Some lncRNAs act as potential precursors or target mimics of miRNAs, such as miR160, miR167, and thus influence spike developmentBack to article page
