Title: Analysis of UGT73C6 natural cis-antisense long non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to be important modulators of gene expression in eukaryotes. In plants, lncRNAs are involved in a wide range of biological processes including flowering time regulation, root development, and hormone and stress responses. My research focused on a particular sub-type of lncRNAs that are transcribed from the opposite DNA strand of protein-coding genes, called natural antisense long non-coding RNAs (NAT-lncRNAs). Using the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, we investigated the regulatory potential of two NAT-lncRNAs which overlap an UDP-glycosyltransferase gene (UGT73C6), referred as NAT1- and NAT2-UGT73C6.
