Expression of lncRNAs by tissue and life stage. (a) Histograms of the number from left to right of (x-axis): lncRNAs per tissue, unique lncRNAs, unique coding RNAs, followed by box-plots displaying the number of lncRNAs per transcriptome, GB per transcriptome and number of transcriptomes found in each tissue and life stage studied (y-axis), ordered by the mean number of days after germination. (b) The tissues were grouped into five life stages of A. thaliana using their position within the A. thaliana’s developmental progression. (c) Number of lncRNAs per life stage. The histogram contains the number of lncRNAs identified in each of these stages, while the second histogram contains the number of unique lncRNAs for each of these stages.
