Non-Coding RNAs

<p>This reference book compiles updated research on <em>non-coding RNAs</em> 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 <em>in silico</em> tools and databases to study them.</p><p>Key features:</p><ul> <li>Discusses the different types of non-coding RNAs including lnc-RNAs siRNA microRNAs and tasiRNAs</li> <li>Covers the role of plant non-coding RNAs in epigenetic regulation of environmental stress response and tolerance</li> <li>Reviews the role of non-coding RNAs under environmental stresses like drought water logging salinity extreme temperature UV heavy metals and xenobiotics</li> <li>Explores the use of non-coding RNAs in transgenic crops and genome editing</li> <li>Describes the biogenesis history and classification of non-coding RNAs in plants</li> </ul><p>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.</p>
