An Insight Into Pentatricopeptide-Mediated Chloroplast Necrosis via microRNA395a During Rhizoctonia solani Infection.

ABSTRACT: Sheath blight (ShB) disease, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, is one of the major biotic stress-oriented diseases that adversely affect the rice productivity worldwide. However, the regulatory mechanisms are not understood yet comprehensively. In the current study, we had investigated the potential roles of miRNAs in economically important indica rice variety Pusa Basmati-1 upon R. solani infection by carrying out in-depth, high-throughput small RNA sequencing with a total data size of 435 million paired-end raw reads from rice leaf RNA samples collected at different time points. Detailed data analysis revealed a total of 468 known mature miRNAs and 747 putative novel miRNAs across all the libraries. Target prediction and Gene Ontology functional analysis of these miRNAs were fo
