Item Genome-wide in silico analysis of long intergenic non-coding RNAs from rice peduncles at the heading stage(2021-10) Kandpal, M; Dhaka, N; Sharma, RLong intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) belong to the category of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), originated from intergenic regions, which do not code for proteins. LincRNAs perform prominent role in regulation of gene expression during plant development and stress response by directly interacting with DNA, RNA, or proteins, or triggering production of small RNA regulatory molecules. Here, we identified 2973 lincRNAs and investigated their expression dynamics during pedun cle elongation in two Indian rice cultivars, Pokkali and Swarna, at the time of heading. Differential expression analysis revealed common and cultivar-specific expression patterns, which we utilized to infer the lincRNA candidates with potential involvement in peduncle elongation and panicle exsertion. Their putative targets were identified using in silico prediction methods followed by pathway mapping and literature-survey based functional analysis. Further, to infer the mechanism of action, we identified the lincRNAs which potentially act as miRNA precursors or target mimics.
