Analysis of Plant lncRNA Regulating Fruit Development and Ripening

Fruiting structures in the angiosperms range from completely dry to highly fleshy organs, providing many of our major crop products, including grains. Fruit ripening is a developmental process regulated by a complex network of endogenous and exogenous signals, covering various signaling pathways such as growth hormone, ethylene biosynthesis and metabolism, sugar biosynthesis and metabolism, and abscisic acid. Some plant lncRNAs have been reported to influence fruit development and ripening by participating in anthocyanin synthesis and DNA methylation processes.

Lifeasible provides analysis services for plant lncRNA in regulating fruit development and ripening to help our customers worldwide in plant science research. Our platform is equipped with cutting-edge facilities and professional experts to support research. Here, we provide various services according to customers' demands.

Plant lncRNA Involved in Anthocyanin Synthesis

  • Anthocyanins are a vital flavonoid class representing a large group of plant secondary metabolites. In plants, anthocyanins play a role in reproduction, attracting pollinators and seed dispersers and fruit development and ripening.
  • We provide analysis services for plant lncRNA involved in anthocyanin synthesis, which impacts fruit development and ripening. Plant lncRNAs accelerate or slow down fruit ripening by trapping miRNAs, causing upregulation of miRNA target gene expression, and subsequently promoting or decreasing the expression of genes related to anthocyanin biosynthesis.
  • We also help customers to analyze other pathways by which plant lncRNAs are involved in anthocyanin synthesis. Plant lncRNAs promote fruit ripening by directly binding to the promoters of anthocyanin-related genes, such as inducing the expression of ethylene-responsive factor proteins.

Plant lncRNA Involved in DNA Methylation

  • DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic mark involving the covalent transfer of a methyl group to the C-5 position of the cytosine ring of DNA-by-DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs).
  • We provide analysis services for plant lncRNA involved in DNA methylation. During fruit development and ripening, the plant lncRNAs affect gene expression through DNA methylation. An increasing number of studies confirm that DNA hypermethylation is essential for the normal ripening of fleshy fruits.
  • Our list of services includes analysis of plant fruit DNA methylation characteristics, correction between expression of DNA demethylase genes and DNA methylation, correction between DNA methylation and gene expression during fruit ripening, and others. Our detailed reports and output data files will be delivered to the client promptly.
