Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in various regulatory processes although they do not encode protein. Presently, there is little information regarding the identification of lncRNAs in peanut (Arachis hypogaea Linn.). In this study, 50,873 lncRNAs of peanut were identified from large-scale published RNA sequencing data that belonged to 124 samples involving 15 different tissues. The average lengths of lncRNA and mRNA were 4335 bp and 954 bp, respectively. Compared to the mRNAs, the lncRNAs were shorter, with fewer exons and lower expression levels. The 4713 co-expression lncRNAs (expressed in all samples) were used to construct co-expression networks by using the weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). LncRNAs correlating with the growth and development of different peanut tissues were obtained, and target genes for 386 hub lncRNAs of all lncRNAs co-expressions were predicted. Taken together, these findings can provide a comprehensive identification of lncRNAs in peanut.

Abstract Background: Iron (Fe) plays a vital role in various cellular processes in plants, including chlorophyll biosynthesis, photosynthesis and respiration. Fe deficiency directly affects crop growth and development, ultimately resulting in reduced crop yield and quality. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been demonstrated to play critical regulatory roles in a multitude of pathways across numerous species. However, systematic screening of lncRNAs responding to Fe deficiency in plants has not been reported. In this work, genome-wide identification and characterization of lncRNAs responsive to Fe deficiency were performed by strand-specific RNA sequencing in rice. Results: In total, 6477 lncRNAs were identified. In Fe-deficient conditions, 47 lncRNAs were up-regulated and 33 lncRNAs were down-regulated in shoots, while 89 lncRNAs were up-regulated and 32 lncRNAs were down-regulated in roots compared to normal conditions. The lncRNAs that were differentially expressed under Fe-sufficient and -deficient conditions appear to be clustered in the genome. Among five monocotyledon species, 88 lncRNAs were conserved, but only 3 lncRNAs responded to Fe deficiency in shoots. Two lncRNAs were identified as putative target mimics of miRNAs that respond to Fe deficiency. Conclusions: Our results provide evidence that lncRNAs are involved in Fe-deficiency signaling pathway in plants, providing a new pathway for further investigation into Fe-regulatory and response mechanisms.
