Global identification of Arabidopsis lncRNAs reveals the regulation of MAF4 by a natural antisense RNA

Long non-coding RNAs regulate developmental transitions and stress responses in plants. Here Zhao et al. show that a non-coding antisense transcript MAS transcribed from the Arabidopsis MAF4 locus activates H3K4me3 deposition and MAF4 transcription to suppress precocious flowering.
