Advances on the Application of Non-Codding RNA in Crop Improvements

Abstract

The worldwide population is expanding exceptionally quickly coming about in a challenge of food security. Food security is an exceptionally serious worldwide issue, particularly within a developing country. RNAi applications are the modern innovation that can contribute to the solution for these issues. Non-coding RNAs are molecules that can't be transcribed to protein or inhibiting protein transcribed. There are numerous types of non-coding RNAs include transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), as well as small RNAs and the long ncRNAs. Crop yield improvement is the ultimate objective of molecular crop breeding. There are multiple physiological traits influencing crop yield, and several studies have found ncRNAs and their target genes are involved in those traits. The non-coding RNA interferes with the physiological traits which influence the crop yield are; plant architecture, abiotic stress, biotic stress, and fruit improvement.
