Long non-coding RNA is a type of non-coding RNA (noncoding RNA, ncRNA) longer than 200 nt, which does not have the function of coding protein and functions directly in the form of RNA. Regulates the expression of protein-coding genes at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and participates in life processes such as cell differentiation and ontogeny. LncRNA was originally considered as the "noise" of genome transcription, a by-product of RNA polymerase II transcription, and has no biological function. However, with the development of technology (such as next-generation sequencing technology), more and more studies have shown that lncRNA plays an important role in many life activities, and lncRNA has begun to attract widespread attention.

Plants have evolved by far the most diverse transcriptional machinery among eukaryotic taxa. This enzymatic machinery involves two novel nuclear DNA-dependent RNA polymerases that are specialized for lncRNA synthesis. These special enzymes determine the complexity of the lncRNA production mechanism in plants. In the past decade, many studies have shown that lncRNAs are involved in epigenetic modification-dependent pre-transcriptional regulation, transcriptional regulation, and post-transcriptional regulation. In addition, they serve as scaffolds, mimicking the endogenous targets of miRNAs and precursors of ncRNAs. Under stress, the expression of lncRNAs may be more active than protein-coding mRNAs. These lncRNAs can act on adversity-related genes, affecting plant morphology physiology and biochemistry to produce responses to stress.

As a leading company in agricultural biotechnology, Lifeasible is at the forefront of research on plant stress responses, including the analysis of plant lncRNAs. Our team of highly skilled scientists and state-of-the-art facilities enable us to perform comprehensive analyses of plant lncRNAs in response to various stresses.

Analysis of Plant lncRNAs in Response to Drought Stress

Lifeasible provides analysis services for lncRNA response to drought stress. Drought is the most important adversity factor affecting plant growth, development, and crop yield. Currently, many studies have confirmed that lncRNAs play an essential role in plant drought stress response.

The core of our service is to help customers gain a deeper understanding of the physiological and biochemical mechanisms by which lncRNAs contribute to the production of drought stress in plants, including photosynthesis regulation, osmoregulation, reactive oxygen species removal, and phytohormone regulation.

Analysis of Plant lncRNAs in Response to Salt Stress

One of our specialty services is to analyze plant lncRNA response to salt stress. The molecular response mechanism of salt stress has long been the focus of plant adversity research. In recent years, more and more relevant lncRNAs have been predicted or characterized.

We have extensive experience in plant lncRNA analysis services. Combined with the fact that plant adaptation to salt stress requires achieving a dynamic balance of ions, hormones, and reactive oxygen species in the body, we analyze the synergistic expression of lncRNAs with these three in the organism.

Analysis of Plant lncRNAs in Response to High-Temperature Stress

Lifeasible is actively analyzing the response of plant lncRNAs to high-temperature stress. Among many adversity stresses, high-temperature stress is one of the most influential and least controllable factors on plant growth and reproduction. Therefore, many studies have been conducted on the response of lncRNAs to high-temperature stress.

Analysis of Plant lncRNAs in Response to Cold Stress

We realize that cold stress poses a significant challenge to plant survival and growth, especially in temperate regions. Therefore, we have actively investigated the mechanisms of plant lncRNAs in response to cold stress and have made progress. These results and experiences of ours also benefit the research of our customers.

Analysis of Plant lncRNAs in Response to Heavy Metal Stress

We help our clients with plant lncRNA studies on heavy metal stress caused by various plant pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, which are a significant threat to global food security. In recent years, plant lncRNAs have been found to respond to heavy metals such as lead (Pb), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and aluminum (Al). However, the mechanisms were less studied.

Lifeasible, with its expertise and cutting-edge technologies, is well-equipped to contribute to this exciting field of research and provide innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture.
