Set of miRNAs Involved in Sulfur Uptake and the Assimilation Pathway of Indian Mustard (B. juncea) in Response to Sulfur Treatments.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. They play a regulatory role in various nutrient assimilatory pathways of plants; however, their role in the regulation of sulfur uptake and assimilatory pathways in mustard cultivars under high/low sulfur conditions is not elucidated. Sulfur is essential for plant growth and development, and its deficiency can cause a decline in oil seed content and thus lower the economic yield in Brassica juncea. In this study, different miRNAs involved in the regulation of sulfur uptake and assimilation pathways in B. juncea were identified using a psRNA target analyzer and miRanda database tools. The predicted miRNAs that belong to 10 highly conserved families were validated using stem-loop RT-PCR. The B. j
