Genome-Wide microRNA Profiling Using Oligonucleotide Microarray Reveals Regulatory Networks of microRNAs in Nicotiana benthamiana During Beet Necrotic Yellow Vein Virus Infection.

ABSTRACT: Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) infections induce stunting and leaf curling, as well as root and floral developmental defects and leaf senescence in Nicotiana benthamiana. A microarray analysis with probes capable of detecting 1596 candidate microRNAs (miRNAs) was conducted to investigate differentially expressed miRNAs and their targets upon BNYVV infection of N. benthamiana plants. Eight species-specific miRNAs of N. benthamiana were identified. Comprehensive characterization of the N. benthamiana microRNA profile in response to the BNYVV infection revealed that 129 miRNAs were altered, including four species-specific miRNAs. The targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted accordingly. The expressions of miR164, 160, and 393 we
