Abstract

mRNA degradation plays an important role in the determination of mRNA abundance and can quickly regulate gene expression. The production of uncapped mRNAs, an important mechanism of mRNA degradation, can be initiated by decapping enzymes, endonucleases or small RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Little is known, however, about the role of uncapped mRNAs in plants under environmental stress. Using a novel approach called parallel analysis of RNA ends (PARE), we performed a global study of uncapped mRNAs under drought stress in foxtail millet (Setaria italica [L.] P. Beauv.). When both gene degradation (PARE) and gene transcription (RNA-sequencing) data were considered, four types of mRNA decay patterns were identified under drought stress. In addition, 385 miRNA-target interactions were identified in the PARE data using PAREsnip. The PARE analysis also suggested that two miRNA hairpin processing mechanisms-loop-last and loop-first processing-operate in foxtail millet, with both miR319 and miR156 gene families undergoing precise processing via the unusual loop-first mechanism. Finally, we found 11 C4 photosynthesis-related enzymes encoded by drought-responsive genes. We performed a global analysis of mRNA degradation under drought stress and uncovered diverse drought-response mechanisms in foxtail millet. This information will deepen our understanding of mRNA expression under stressful environmental conditions in gramineous plants. In addition, PARE analysis identified many miRNA targets and revealed miRNA-precursor processing modes in foxtail millet.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 December 2015.
All research outputs
#17,774,664
of 22,829,683 outputs
Outputs from BMC Plant Biology
#1,884
of 3,249 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#187,315
of 277,991 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Plant Biology
#34
of 63 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,683 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,249 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 277,991 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 63 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
