Identification of sugarcane microRNAs differentially regulated by pathogenic and beneficial microorganisms

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane is a very efficient crop to produce ethanol. In recent years, extensive efforts have been made in order to increase sugarcane yields. To reach this goal, molecular biology tools have been used comprehensively, identifying genes, pathways and genetic polymorphisms. However, some important molecular components, like microRNAs, have not been deeply investigated. MicroRNAs are an important class of endogenous small, noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcription level and play fundamental roles in diverse aspects of animal and plant biology. Plant genomes harbor numerous miRNA genes that regulate many protein-coding genes to influence key processes ranging from development, metabolism, and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. There is wide range of pests
