High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed the regulation patterns of small RNAs on the development of A. comosus var. bracteatus leaves.

ABSTRACT: Studies of the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of the albino leaf cells are important for understanding the development of chimera leaves in Ananas comosus var. bracteatus. In this study, we identified a total of 163 novel miRNAs involved in the development of complete white (CWh) and complete green (CGr) leaves using high-throughput sequencing method. The potential miRNA target genes were predicted and annotated using the NR, Swiss-Prot, GO, COG, KEGG, KOG and Pfam databases. The main biological processes regulated by miRNAs were revealed. The miRNAs which potentially play important roles in the development of the leaves and the albino of the CWh leaf cells were selected and their expression patterns were analyzed. The expression levels of nine miRNAs and their potential ta
