摘要: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are an important class of genes and play important roles in a range of biological processes. However, few reports have described the identification of lncRNAs in oil palm. In this study, we applied strand specific RNA-seq with rRNA removal to identify 1,363 lncRNAs from the equally mixed tissues of oil palm spear leaf and six different developmental stages of mesocarp (8-24 weeks). Based on strand specific RNA-seq data and 18 released oil palm transcriptomes, we systematically characterized the expression patterns of lncRNA loci and their target genes. A total of 875 uniq target genes for natural antisense lncRNAs (NAT-lncRNA, 712), long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs, 92), intronic-lncRNAs (33), and sense-lncRNAs (52) were predicted. A majority of lncRNA loci (77.8%-89.6%) had low expression in 18 transcriptomes, while only 89 lncRNA loci had medium to high expression in at least one transcriptome. Coexpression analysis between lncRNAs and their target genes indicated that 6% of lncRNAs had expression patterns positively correlated with those of target genes. Based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers derived from our previous research, 6,882 SNPs were detected for lncRNAs and 28 SNPs belonging to 21 lncRNAs were associated with the variation of fatty acid contents. Moreover, seven lncRNAs showed expression patterns positively correlated expression pattern with those of genes in de novo fatty acid synthesis pathways. Our study identified a collection of lncRNAs for oil palm and provided clues for further research into lncRNAs that may regulate mesocarp development and lipid metabolism.
