Genome-wide miRNA expression profiling in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) reveals TOR-dependent post-transcriptional gene regulatory networks in diverse metabolic pathway.

ABSTRACT: Target of rapamycin (TOR) operates as a hub of the signal transduction that integrates nutrient and energy signaling to promote cell proliferation and growth through mediating the transcriptional and post- transcriptional regulator networks in all eukaryotic species. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are widespread classes of small, single-stranded, non-coding endogenous RNAs and are widely found in eukaryotes, which play a vital role in regulating gene expression by degrading targeted mRNAs or translational repression at post-transcriptional level. Recent studies found that there were necessarily close connections between miRNA and TOR pathways in mammals. However, there is little information about the interplay between the miRNA and TOR in plants. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify potential T
