Epitranscriptomic mRNA modifications governing plant stress responses: underlying mechanism and potential application
Tóm tắt
Plants inevitably encounter environmental adversities, including abiotic and biotic stresses, which significantly impede plant growth and reduce crop yield. Thus, fine‐tuning the fate and function of stress‐responsive RNAs is indispensable for plant survival under such adverse conditions. Recently, post‐transcriptional RNA modifications have been studied as a potent route to regulate plant gene expression under stress. Among over 160 mRNA modifications identified to date, N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNAs is notable because of its multifaceted roles in plant development and stress response. Recent transcriptome‐wide mapping has revealed the distribution and patterns of m6A in diverse stress‐responsive mRNAs in plants, building a foundation for elucidating the molecular link between m6A and stress response. Moreover, the identification and characterization of m6A writers, readers and erasers in
