Integrated transcriptome and small RNA sequencing in revealing miRNA-mediated regulatory network of floral bud break in Prunus mume.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs is one class of small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in plant growth and development. Though miRNAs and their target genes have been widely studied in many plant species, their functional roles in floral bud break and dormancy release in woody perennials is still unclear. In this study, we applied transcriptome and small RNA sequencing together to systematically explore the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of floral bud break in P. mume. Through expression profiling, we identified a few candidate genes and miRNAs during different developmental stage transitions. In total, we characterized 1,553 DEGs associated with endodormancy release and 2,084 DEGs associated with bud flush. Additionally, we identified 48 known miRNAs and 53 novel miRNAs tar
