Growing interest and recent evidence have identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) as the potential regulatory elements for eukaryotes. LncRNAs can activate various transcriptional and post-transcriptional events that impact cellular functions though multiple regulatory functions. Recently, a large number of lncRNAs have also been identified in higher plants, and an understanding of their functional role in plant resistance to infection is just emerging. Here, we focus on their identification in crop plant, and discuss their potential regulatory functions and lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network in plant pathogen stress responses, referring to possible examples in a model plant. The knowledge gained from a deeper understanding of this colossal special group of plant lncRNAs will help in the biotechnological improvement of crops.
越来越多的研究兴趣和最新证据表明，长非编码 RNA（lncRNA）是真核生物潜在的调控元件。lncRNA 可以通过多种调控功能激活各种转录和转录后事件，从而影响细胞功能。最近，在高等植物中也发现了大量的 lncRNA，它们在植物抗感染中的功能作用也刚刚开始显现。在这里，我们重点关注它们在作物植物中的鉴定，并讨论它们在植物病原体胁迫反应中的潜在调节功能和 lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA 网络，同时参考模式植物中的可能例子。从更深层次上了解这一大类植物 lncRNA 将有助于作物的生物技术改良。
