Resumen:
The advent of novel high-throughput sequencing techniques has revealed that eukaryotic genomesare massively transcribed although only a small fraction of RNAs exhibits protein-codingcapacity. In the last years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as regulators ofeukaryotic gene expression in a wide range of molecular mechanisms. Plant lncRNAs can betranscribed by alternative RNA polymerases, acting directly as long transcripts or can be processedinto active small RNAs. Several lncRNAs have been recently shown to interact with chromatin,DNA or nuclear proteins to condition the epigenetic environment of target genes or modulate theactivity of transcriptional complexes. In this review, we will summarize the recent discoveriesabout the actions of plant lncRNAs in the regulation of gene expression at the transcriptionallevel.
