Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly identified class of non-coding small RNAs of about 21-24 nucleotides. They play important roles in multiple biological processes by degrading targeted mRNAs or repressing mRNA translation. To date, a total of 2,043 plant miRNAs are present in the miRNA Registry database (miRBase Release 14.0), and none for tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). In this research, we used known plant miRNAs...
