Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) may play widespread roles in biological processes,however,a systematic examination of the functions of lincRNAs in the biological responses of rice to phosphate (Pi) starvation has not been performed.Here 3,170 lincRNA loci were identified using RNA sequencing data from the roots and shoots of control and Pi-starved rice.A competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed for each tissue by considering the competing relationships between lincRNAs and genes,and the correlations between the expression levels of RNAs in ceRNA pairs.
