Non-Coding RNAs (eBook, PDF)

Molecular Tools for Crop Improvement

Redaktion: Suprasanna, Penna; Srivastava, Ashish Kumar; Kumar, Vinay

Beschreibung

This reference book compiles updated research on non-coding RNAs and their role in producing high-yielding plants with higher productivity under changing climates. Plant non-coding RNAs are emerging as the key regulators of plant responses to climate change and environmental stresses. The book covers the sequencing, identification, prediction, identification, characterization, and targets of non-coding RNAs to engineer high-yielding crops. It also includes in silico tools and databases to study them.

Key features:

• Discusses the different types of non-coding RNAs including lnc-RNAs, siRNA, microRNAs, and tasiRNAs
• Covers the role of plant non-coding RNAs in epigenetic regulation of environmental stress response and tolerance
• Reviews the role of non-coding RNAs under environmental stresses like drought, water logging, salinity, extreme temperature, UV, heavy metals, and xenobiotics
• Explores the use of non-coding RNAs in transgenic crops and genome editing
• Describes the biogenesis, history, and classification of non-coding RNAs in plants

The book provides a mix of basic and advanced information for postgraduate students, researchers, and scientists in the fields of plant molecular biology, biotechnology, food security, and agriculture.
