Identification of MicroRNAs Involved in Different Layers of Rice-Magnaporthe oryzae Interaction.

ABSTRACT: Rice blast disease is one of the most destructive rice diseases worldwide. Rice MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in immunity against blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. However, it remains unclear which miRNAs are involved in the three layers of rice-M. oryzae interaction, including pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)-triggered immunity (PTI), effector-triggered susceptibility (ETS), and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). In this study, we performed small RNA-sequencing to systemically identify miRNAs regulating PTI, ETS, and ETI in rice-M. oryzae interaction. A totally 441 miRNAs were identified, with 13, 30, and 14 miRNAs screened out and classified as regulators of PTI, ETS, and ETI, respectively. We investigated and confirmed the roles of 9 previously reported miRNAs a
