Role of long non-coding RNA in plant flowering regulation(长链非编码RNA在植物开花调控中的作用) by 郑羽琪(ZHENG Yuqi), 苏逸然(SU Yiran), 彭俊睿(PENG Junrui), 杜佳宏(DU Jiahong), 武亮(WU Liang)

“…Within these pathways, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) works in conjunction with related proteins to regulate key factors at transcriptional, post-transcriptional and epigenetic levels. They achieve this by modifying histones, participating in alternative splicing, and producing or competitively binding to microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), thereby either promoting or inhibiting flowering. …”
