Genome-wide identification, expression, and regulatory network analysis of wheat microRNAs responsive to <i>Bipolaris sorokiniana</i>.

ABSTRACT: Spot blotch, caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is an important disease that leads to significant economic losses in wheat globally. Due to the complexity of B. sorokiniana infection, identification of wheat lines with strong resistance to spot blotch is challenging. Hence, the introduction of effective disease management strategies through the manipulation of genes involved in B. sorokiniana-wheat interaction remains essential. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in gene regulation and are increasingly used to predict molecular networks and genes associated with disease development or resistance. In this study, we employed small RNA sequencing to profile miRNAs in a resistant (IC566637) and a susceptible (Agra Local) wheat genotype following B. sorokiniana infec
