Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) refers to an RNA molecule longer than 200 nucleotides (nt) that plays a significant role in regulating essential molecular and biological processes. It is commonly found in animals, plants, and viruses, and is characterized by features such as epigenetic markers, developmental stage-specific expression, and tissue-specific expression. Research has shown that lncRNA participates in anatomical processes like plant progression, while also playing a crucial role in plant disease resistance and adaptation mechanisms. In this review, we provide a concise overview of the formation mechanism, structural characteristics, and databases related to lncRNA in recent years. We primarily discuss the biological roles of lncRNA in plant progression as well as its involvement in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Additionally, we examine the current challenges associated with lncRNA and explore its potential application in crop production and breeding. Studying plant lncRNAs is highly significant for multiple reasons: It reveals the regulatory mechanisms of plant growth and development, promotes agricultural production and food security, and drives research in plant genomics and epigenetics. Additionally, it facilitates ecological protection and biodiversity conservation.
长链非编码 RNA（lncRNA）是指长度大于 200 个核苷酸（nt）的 RNA 分子，在调节重要的分子和生物过程中发挥重要作用。它在动物、植物和病毒中普遍存在，其特征包括表观遗传标记、发育阶段特异性表达和组织特异性表达。研究表明，lncRNA 参与植物发育等解剖过程，同时在植物抗病性和适应机制中也起着关键作用。在这篇综述中，我们简要概述了近年来 lncRNA 的形成机制、结构特征和相关数据库。我们主要讨论了 lncRNA 在植物发育中的生物学作用及其在应对生物和非生物胁迫中的作用。此外，我们还研究了与 lncRNA 相关的当前挑战，并探讨了其在作物生产和育种中的潜在应用。研究植物 lncRNA 具有多重意义：它揭示了植物生长和发育的调控机制，促进了农业生产和粮食安全，推动了植物基因组学和表观遗传学的研究。此外，它还有助于生态保护和生物多样性保护。
