Specially, lncRNAs as endogenous target mimics (eTMs) can bind miRNAs to regulate the expressions of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). A growing number of studies focus on animals, but the studies on plants are scarce and many functions of plant eTMs are unknown. This study proposes a novel ensemble pruning protocol for predicting plant miRNA\u2013lncRNA interactions at first. It adaptively prunes the base models based on dual-path parallel ensemble method to meet the challenge of cross-species prediction. Then potential eTMs are mined from predicted results. The expression levels of RNAs are identified through biological experiment to construct the lncRNA\u2013miRNA\u2013mRNA regulatory network, and the functions of potential eTMs are inferred through enrichment analysis. Experiment results show that the proposed protocol outperforms existing methods and state-of-the-art predictors on various plant species. A total of 17 potential eTMs are verified by biological experiment to involve in 22 regulations, and 14 potential eTMs are inferred by Gene Ontology enrichment analysis to involve in 63 functions, which is significant for further research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbab440","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,30]],"date-time":"2021-09-30T19:36:35Z","timestamp":1633030595000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Mining
