Differential expression of microRNAs in response to Papaya ringspot virus infection in differentially responding genotypes of papaya (Carica papaya L.) and its wild relative.

ABSTRACT: Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is one of the most devastating viruses of papaya that has significantly hampered papaya production across the globe. Although PRSV resistance is known in some of its wild relatives, such as Vasconcellea cauliflora and in some of the improved papaya genotypes, the molecular basis of this resistance mechanism has not been studied and understood. Plant microRNAs are an important class of small RNAs that regulate the gene expression in several plant species against the invading plant pathogens. These miRNAs are known to manifest the expression of genes involved in resistance against plant pathogens, through modulation of the plant's biochemistry and physiology. In this study we made an attempt to study the overall expression pattern of small RNAs and more sp
