Abstract
During the past decade, various types of noncoding RNAs have been identified as important gene expression regulators in plants, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), natural antisense RNAs, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), etc. These noncoding RNAs play diverse roles in almost every plant development-related process, including growth regulation, organ formation, hormone signaling transduction, stress response, etc. Here, we review the progresses and discoveries of major noncoding RNA classes in rice, with a focus on the features of each class of noncoding RNAs, their biogenesis process, function and expression regulatory mechanisms.
