Wheat Long Noncoding RNAs from Organelle and Nuclear Genomes Carry Conserved microRNA Precursors Which May Together Comprise Intricate Networks in Insect Responses

description | Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a diverse class of noncoding RNAs that are typically longer than 200 nucleotides but lack coding potentials. Advances in deep sequencing technologies enabled a better exploration of this type of noncoding transcripts. The poor sequence conservation, however, complicates the identification and annotation of lncRNAs at a large scale. Wheat is among the leading food staples worldwide whose production is threatened by both biotic and abiotic stressors. Here, we identified putative lncRNAs from durum wheat varieties that differ in stem solidness, a major source of defense against wheat stem sawfly, a devastating insect pest. We also analyzed and annotated lncRNAs from two bread wheat varieties, resistant and susceptible to another destructive pest, orange wheat blossom midge, with and without infestation. Several putative lncRNAs contained potential precursor sequences and/or target regions for microRNAs, another type of regulatory noncoding RNAs, which may indicate functional networks. Interestingly, in contrast to lncRNAs themselves, microRNAs with potential precursors within the lncRNA sequences appeared to be highly conserved at the sequence and family levels. We also observed a few putative lncRNAs that have perfect to near-perfect matches to organellar genomes, supporting the recent observations that organellar genomes may contribute to the noncoding transcript pool of the cell. |
