Outline of Final Research Achievements

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is one of the newly discovered molecules, which potentially regulate many aspects of biological functions. To understand the many layers of molecular mechanisms governing the critical processes for rice productivity, I assayed the transcriptome (RNA seq.) focusing on the lncRNA population and the influence of its epigenetic regulation on lncRNA. A wide variety of lncRNAs were detected and many of them were expressed in tissue and/or response specific manner.
