Comparative genome-wide characterization of salt responsive micro RNA and their targets through integrated small RNA and de novo transcriptome profiling in sugarcane and its wild relative Erianthus arundinaceus.

ABSTRACT: Soil salinity and saline irrigation water are major constraints in sugarcane affecting the production of cane and sugar yield. To understand the salinity induced responses and to identify novel genomic resources, integrated de novo transcriptome and small RNA sequencing in sugarcane wild relative, Erianthus arundinaceus salt tolerant accession IND 99-907 and salt-sensitive sugarcane genotype Co 97010 were performed. A total of 362 known miRNAs belonging to 62 families and 353 miRNAs belonging to 63 families were abundant in IND 99-907 and Co 97010 respectively. The miRNA families such as miR156, miR160, miR166, miR167, miR169, miR171, miR395, miR399, miR437 and miR5568 were the most abundant with more than ten members in both genotypes.
