Overexpressing lncRNA LAIR increases grain yield and regulates neighbouring gene cluster expression in rice.
LAIR overexpression increases rice grain yield and upregulates the expression of several LRK genes.
Overall, this study reveals the role of lncRNA LAIR in regulating rice grain yield and lncRNAs may be useful targets for crop breeding.
Here, we identify a lncRNA transcribed from the antisense strand of neighbouring gene LRK (leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase) cluster named LAIR (LRK Antisense Intergenic RNA).
