Genome-Wide Analysis of microRNAs and Their Target Genes in Dongxiang Wild Rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) Responding to Salt Stress.

ABSTRACT: Rice (Oryza sativa) is a staple food for more than half of the world's population, and its production is critical for global food security. Moreover, rice yield decreases when exposed to abiotic stresses, such as salinity, which is one of the most detrimental factors for rice production. According to recent trends, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, more rice fields may become saltier. Dongxiang wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff., DXWR) is a progenitor of cultivated rice and has a high tolerance to salt stress, making it useful for studying the regulatory mechanisms of salt stress tolerance. However, the regulatory mechanism of miRNA-mediated salt stress response in DXWR remains unclear. In this study, miRNA sequencing was performed to identify miRN
