Genbank accession number

• Overexpressing lncRNA LAIR increases grain yield and regulates neighbouring gene cluster expression in rice.
• LAIR overexpression increases rice grain yield and upregulates the expression of several LRK genes
• Overall, this study reveals the role of lncRNA LAIR in regulating rice grain yield and lncRNAs may be useful targets for crop breeding
• Here, we identify a lncRNA transcribed from the antisense strand of neighbouring gene LRK (leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase) cluster named LAIR (LRK Antisense Intergenic RNA)

• LAIR, LRK1, Overexpressing lncRNA LAIR increases grain yield and regulates neighbouring gene cluster expression in rice., LAIR binds histone modification proteins OsMOF and OsWDR5 in rice cells, which are enriched in LRK1 gene region
• LAIR, LRK1, Overexpressing lncRNA LAIR increases grain yield and regulates neighbouring gene cluster expression in rice., Moreover, LAIR is demonstrated to bind 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions of LRK1 gene
