Integrated mRNA and small RNA sequencing reveals post-transcriptional regulation of the sesquiterpene pathway in Santalum album L. (Indian sandalwood).

ABSTRACT:

Key message

In sandalwood, negative pattern of regulation by miRNAs was documented in key genes from the sesquiterpene pathway, with cytochrome P450 reductase showing maximum miRNA targets, followed by sesquisabianene synthase 1.

Abstract

A comprehensive knowledge of the molecular regulation of sesquiterpene biosynthetic pathway through transcriptomic studies is well established in Santalum album (Indian Sandalwood). However, the post-transcriptional regulation of the genes regulating the pathway is still elusive in this genus. In the present study, an integrated analysis of wood transcriptome and small RNA datasets was conducted to investigate the role of miRNAs in regulating the expression of transcripts involved in santalol production mediated by the sesquiterpene
