Table 1.

Summary of sunflower lncRNA features. The total number of lncRNAs having each feature is presented. Percentages of differentially and non-differentially expressed lncRNAs were calculated according to the total of lncRNAs with a given feature (values in the total column). Percentages in the total for each feature (total column) were calculated with respect to the total number of lncRNAs independently of features (value in the total row and total column)
