Long Non-Coding RNA (LncRNA)

This project aims to explore the potential of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to enhance rice resilience to climate change-induced stress. By using AI to analyze lncRNA patterns in rice and Arabidopsis, the goal is to identify key molecules involved in stress response and apply this knowledge to develop RNA-based solutions, like synthetic lncRNAs, to improve crop tolerance without genetic modification.

The multidisciplinary RESOLAT project aims to understand the impact of lncRNAs on the gene network regulating lateral root development in Brassicaceae. Using time-series RNA-seq data, we propose to reconstruct the gene regulatory network controlling lateral root development in eight Brassicaceae, integrating coding and non-coding genes (small and long).
