Riassunto

The growth of human population has increased the demand for improved yield and quality of crops and horticultural plants. However, plant productivity continues to be threatened by stresses such as heat, cold, drought, heavy metals, UV radiations, bacterial and fungal pathogens, and insect pests. Long non-coding RNAs are associated with various developmental pathways, regulatory systems, abiotic and biotic stress responses and signaling, and can provide an alternative strategy for stress management in plants.

Long Non-coding RNAs in Plants: Roles in development and stress

provides the most recent advances in LncRNAs, including identification, characterization, and their potential applications and uses.

Introductory chapters include the basic features and brief history of development of lncRNAs studies in plants. The book then provides the knowledge about the lncRNAs in various important agricultural and horticultural crops such as cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and fiber crop cotton, and their roles and applications in abiotic and biotic stress management.

• Includes the latest advances and research in long non-coding RNAs in plants
• Provides alternative strategies for abiotic and biotic stress management in horticultural plants and agricultural crops
• Focuses on the application and uses of long non-coding RNAs
