Abstract
- CircRNAs are covalently closed-loop single-stranded RNA molecules ubiquitously expressing in eukaryotes. As an important member of the endogenous ncRNA family, circRNAs are associated with diverse biological processes and can regulate transcription, modulate alternative splicing, and interact with miRNAs or proteins. Compared to abundant advances in animals, studies of circRNAs in plants are rapidly emerging. The databases and analysis tools for plant circRNAs are constantly being developed. Large numbers of circRNAs have been identified and characterized in plants and proved to play regulatory roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Here, we review the biogenesis, characteristics, bioinformatics resources, and biological functions of plant circRNAs, and summarize the distinct circularization features and differentially expression patterns comparison with animal-related results.
