Plant IsomiR Atlas: Large Scale Detection, Profiling, and Target Repertoire of IsomiRs in Plants.

ABSTRACT: microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role as key regulators controlling the post-transcriptional events in plants across development, abiotic and biotic stress, tissue polarity and also in defining the evolutionary basis of the origin of the post-transcriptional machinery. Identifying patterns of regulated and co-regulated small RNAs, in particular miRNAs and their sequence variants with the availability of next generation sequencing approaches has widely demonstrated the role of miRNAs and their temporal regulation in maintaining plant development and their response to stress conditions. Although the role of canonical miRNAs has been widely explored and functional diversity is revealed, those works for isomiRs are still limited and urgent to be carried out across plants. This relative lac
