Research Abstract

Our previous study identified about 7, 000 stress-inducible antisense RNAs in Arabidopsis and showed that RD29A locus that has typical drought-inducible gene, has a type of stress-inducible antisense RNA which is complementary to sequence of the sense mRNA. Real time RT-PCR analysis showed that accumulation of RD29A antisense RNA was decreased in rdr1/2/6 triple mutants. Our data indicates a novel RNA regulation mechanism that RDR-mediated synthesis of antisense RNAs functions in the turnover of sense mRNAs under the stress conditions in plants.
