Identification of miRNA from Bouteloua gracilis, a drought tolerant grass, by deep sequencing and their in silico analysis
文摘
We identified 31 conserved miRNAs families and 53 putative novel miRNAs in B. gracilis. Two putative miRNA sequences were unique to B. gracilis and they had B. gracilis-specific ESTs as targets. Predicted miRNAs putatively regulate mRNA genes that are involved in biological processes such as metabolism, plant growth and development, and stress responses.
