Successful germination and seedling development are crucial steps in the growth of a new plant. Germination is a complex process during which the mature seed resumes growth and shifts from a maturation- to a germination-driven program of development and subsequent seedling growth. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNAs of more than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins or have a weak ability to be translated into proteins. They are involved in seed development and metabolic processes in various crops, such as maize, wheat, castor, and Arabidopsis.

Lifeasible provides analysis services for plant lncRNA in regulating seed germination and seedling growth to help our customers worldwide in plant science research. Our platform is equipped with cutting-edge facilities and professional experts to support research. Our detailed reports and output data files will be delivered to the client promptly.

Seed Germination & Seedling Growth

• The seed is the embryonic stage of the plant life cycle. A seed starts to germinate in favorable conditions in response to environmental stimuli such as light, temperature, and soil components. Following germination, most of the future growth of a plant is dependent on the cell divisions that occur in both the root and the shoot meristems within the mature plant embryo.
• We provide analysis services for plant lncRNA in regulating seed germination and seedling growth. Various lncRNAs are abundantly expressed in the cytoplasm of the root end cells of seedlings or the epidermal layer of the root elongation zone, thus affecting the germination rate of seeds as well as the growth of seedlings. In addition, such effects are often associated with lncRNAs affecting hormone metabolism and altering regulatory pathways, such as salicylic acid (SA), abscisic acid (ABA), and gibberellin.

Photomorphogenesis

• Light is an essential environmental factor required for seedling growth and development. The mechanistic study of photomorphogenesis is one of the hotspots in plant molecular biology. The involvement of plant lncRNAs in this process is yet to be explored.
• We provide analysis services for plant lncRNA in photomorphogenesis to regulate seedling growth and development. Some lncRNAs regulate seedling photomorphogenesis by directly inhibiting photosensitive pigments. Further studies have shown that lncRNAs can be assembled into RNA-protein complexes that play essential roles in life activities such as gene regulation, RNA shearing, and protein synthesis.
