Multiomics studies with co-transformation reveal microRNAs via miRNA-TF-mRNA network participating in wood formation in Hevea brasiliensis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that play an important role in wood formation in plants. However, the significance of the link between miRNAs and their target transcripts in wood formation remains unclear in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis).

Methods

In this study, we induced the formation of reaction wood by artificially bending rubber trees for 300 days and performed small RNA sequencing and transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) to describe the complement of miRNAs and their targets contributing to this process.

Results and discussion

We identified 5, 11, and 2 differentially abundant miRNAs in normal wood (NW) compared to tension wood (TW), in NW relative to opposite wood (OW), and between TW and OW, respectively. We als
