Abiotic challenges have a major impact on plant growth and development. Recent research has highlighted the role of long non-coding RNAs in response to these environmental stressors. Long non-coding RNAs are transcripts that are usually longer than 200 nucleotides with no potential for coding proteins. This review provides a thorough overview of current knowledge regarding the plant-long non-coding RNAs, their classification, biogenesis, functional mechanism, and their role in responses to the abiotic stress like drought, salinity, extreme temperatures etc. It also emphasizes the latest developments in bioinformatics and high-throughput sequencing, which have made it possible to identify and characterize lncRNAs in response to stress in many plant species. Also, this review aims to consolidate the potential of lncRNAs as targets for biotechnology to enhance crop resistance and to identify key challenges and opportunities for future research on lncRNA-mediated stress adaptation in plants.

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.
