Abstract
AbstractMillets are a group of annual, panicoid grasses with C4 mode of photosynthesis. With the ease of their Arabidopsis-like lifecycle, tremendous stress-tolerance capacity, and huge nutritional value, millets can be the genetic and nutritional epitome for worldwide food security as well as for the development of C4 model plant system. Recent sophistications in “omics” approaches may enlighten the path for improvement of the existing genetic resources to sustain over the ongoing environmental dynamics and to incorporate these climate-resilient genetic elements within the established food crops. With the advent of different omics-perspective, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) get huge attention particularly in the prospect for plants’ stress response. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the present state of knowledge about how small millets can be established as the climate-sustainable model system, and how lncRNAs involve in abiotic stress management. It also discusses the utilization of several bioinformatics pipelines to help in unravelling the molecular mystery behind it.KeywordsLncRNAMilletAbiotic stressBioinformaticsChIP sequencingAgricultural sustainability
