Identification and characterization of miRNAs in two closely related C₄ and C₃ species of Cleome by high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Cleome gynandra and Cleome hassleriana, which are C₄ and C₃ plants, respectively, are two species of Cleome. The close genetic relationship between C. gynandra and C. hassleriana provides advantages for discovering the differences in leaf development and physiological processes between C₃ and C₄ plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of important regulators of various biological processes. In this study, we investigate the differences in the characteristics of miRNAs between C. gynandra and C. hassleriana using high-throughput sequencing technology. In total, 94 and 102 known miRNAs were identified in C. gynandra and C. hassleriana, respectively, of which 3 were specific for C. gynandra and 10 were specific for C. hassleriana.
