The growth of human population has increased the demand for improved yield and quality of crops and horticultural plants. However, plant productivity continues to be threatened by stresses such as heat, cold, drought, heavy metals, UV radiations, bacterial and fungal pathogens, and insect pests. Long noncoding RNAs are associated with various developmental pathways, regulatory systems, abiotic and biotic stress responses and signaling, and can provide an alternative strategy for stress management in plants. Long Noncoding RNAs in Plants: Roles in development and stress provides the most recent advances in Lnc RNAs, including identification, characterization, and their potential applications and uses. Introductory chapters include the basic features and brief history of development of lnc RNAs studies in plants. The book then provides the knowledge about the lnc RNAs in various important agricultural and horticultural crops such as cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and fiber crop cotton, and their roles and applications in abiotic and biotic stress management. – Includes the latest advances and research in long noncoding RNAs in plants- Provides alternative strategies for abiotic and biotic stress management in horticultural plants and agricultural crops- Focuses on the application and uses of long noncoding RNAs
