Genome-Wide Identification of microRNAs in Response to Salt/Alkali Stress in Medicago truncatula through High-Throughput Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Saline-alkaline stress is a universal abiotic stress that adversely affects plant growth and productivity. Saline-alkaline conditions results in plant abnormal transcriptome expression finally manifesting as defective phenotypes. Considerable research has revealed the active role of microRNA in various stress conditions. This study was aimed to identify novel miRNAs and the miRNA expression patterns in the leguminous model plant R108 (Medicago truncatula). The miRNA contained in the total RNA extracted from Medicago truncatula seedlings (72 h) that had been treated with solutions mimicking saline and alkaline soils was subjected to miRNA deep sequencing. The Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform was used to analyze nine small RNA libraries of three treatment groups: distilled wa
