Genome-wide analysis of PHD finger gene family and identification of potential miRNA and their PHD finger gene specific targets in Oryza sativa indica.

ABSTRACT: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereal crops for one third of the world population. However, the grain quality as well as yield of rice is severely affected by various abiotic stresses. Environmental stresses affect the expression of various microRNAs (miRNAs) which in turn negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level either by degrading the target mRNA genes or suppressing translation in plants. Plant homeo-domain (PHD) finger proteins are known to be involved in the plant response to salinity stress. In the present study, we identified 44 putative OsPHD finger genes in Oryza sativa Indica, using Ensembl Plants Database. Using computational approach, potential miRNAs that target OsPHD finger genes were identified. Ou
