Abstract:
Plant small RNAs are emerging as significant components of epigenetic processes and of gene networks involved in development and homeostasis. In this paper, to identify small RNAs in wheat, 2,076 small RNAs were identified in a small RNA library from leaf, root, and spike. These small RNAs mapped to non-coding regions the CDS region of protein-coding genes and 5' UTR and 3' UTR regions. The expression of small RNAs in seedling leaves, roots, and spikes were analyzed by northern blot, which indicates that some small RNAs were responsive to abiotic stress treatments including heat, cold, salt and dehydration.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
