Expression Patterns and Regulation of Non-Coding RNAs during Synthesis of Cellulose in <i>Eucalyptus grandis</i> Hill
description Cellulose, an essential structural component in the plant cell wall and a renewable biomass resource, plays a significant role in nature. <i>Eucalyptus’s</i> excellent timber tree species (including <i>Eucalyptus grandis</i> Hill) provide many raw materials for the paper and wood industries. The synthesis of cellulose is a very complex process involving multiple genes and regulated by various biological networks. However, research on regulating associated genes and non-coding RNAs during cellulose synthesis in <i>E. grandis</i> remains lacking. In this study, the wood anatomical characteristics and chemical indexes of <i>E. grandis</i> were analyzed by taking three different parts (diameter at breast height (DBH), middle and upper part of the trunk) from the main stem of <i>E. grandis</i> as raw materials. The role of non-coding RNAs (Long non-coding RNA, lncRNA; Micro RNA, miRNA; Circle RNA, circRNA) on regulating candidate genes was presented, and the network map of ceRNA (Competing endogenous RNA) regulation during wood cellulose biosynthesis of <i>E. grandis</i> was constructed.
