High Temperature-Responsive Poplar lncRNAs and Target Genes

Yuepeng Song from Beijing Forestry University identified 261 high temperature-responsive long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in poplar (Populus simonii). These lncRNAs were predicted to target 353 genes, with 163 cis-targets and 190 trans-targets. The study includes experimental validation of lncRNA function through overexpression and repression assays in poplar leaves and roots.

Use Cases

• Training models to predict lncRNA-target gene interactions based on identified cis and trans relationships.
• Analyzing RNA interference pathways in plant stress responses using the described lncRNA-gene pairs.
• Studying the role of RNA secondary structures in gene regulation using the example of lncRNA TCONS_00202587.
• Investigating calcium signaling in heat stress using data from lncRNA TCONS_00260893's effect on Ca2+ influx.

Strengths

• Identifies 261 specific high temperature-responsive lncRNAs.
• Maps lncRNAs to 353 target genes with defined cis/trans counts.
• Includes experimental validation from transient overexpression and repression assays.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
