Abstract:
Lilium 'Siberia' is a commercially significant cut flower worldwide with an elegant shape and appealing scent, originating from the release of monoterpenes. However, the regulatory mechanism underlying lily monoterpenes has been largely unexplored. Here, a MYB transcription factor from 'Siberia' petals, LiSRM1, whose expression was negatively associated with monoterpene release. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that LiSRM1 was localized to the nucleus. A virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) assay showed that silencing of LiSRM1 not only significantly increased the synthesis of linalool and ocimene, but also elevated the expression of LiLiS and LiOcS, respectively. Transient overexpression of LiSRM1 exerted opposite effects. Furthermore, yeast one-hybrid assays (Y1H) and dual-luciferase assays (LUC) demonstrated that LiSRM1 directly bound the promoters of LiLiS and LiOcS, respectively, and repressed their expression. Taken together, the results suggested that LiSRM1 negatively regulated monoterpene release and mediated the expression of LiLiS and LiOcS in Lilium.

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.
