MicroRNA regulatory mechanisms on Citrus sinensis leaves to magnesium-deficiency


ABSTRACT: In China, magnesium (Mg)-deficiency often occurs in citrus orchards, and is responsible for the loss of yield and poor fruit quality. However, very limited data are available on Mg-deficiency-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs) in higher plants. Using Illumina sequencing, we isolated 93 (91 known and 2 novel) up- and 90 (83 known and 7 novel) down-regulated miRNAs from Mg-deficient Citrus sinensis leaves. In addition to the remarkable metabolic flexibility as indicated by the great alteration of miRNA expression, the adaptive responses of leaf miRNAs to Mg-deficiency might also involve the following aspects: (a) accelerating protein turnover and amino acid biosynthesis by repressing the expression of miR2919, miR7812, miR5904 and miR5742; (b) up-regulating stress-related genes by down-regulating miR2919, miR164 and miR7812; (c) enhancing cell transport due to decreased expression of miR2919, miR3946, miR7533, miR1222, miR779, miR6143 and miR2868 and increased expression of miR395, miR1077, miR1160 and miR8019; (d) activating lipid metabolism-related genes by repressing miR158, miR1222, miR7533 and miR3946; (e) inducing cell wall-related genes by decreasing miR7533, miR779 and miR2868 expression; and (f) maintaing primary meristems by down-regulating miR6135. To conclude, we identified some candidate miRNAs that might contribute to Mg-deficiency tolerance. Our results are usefult not only for increasing our understaning of the molecular mechanisms on plant Mg-deficiency tolerance at post-transcriptional level, but also for obtaining the key miRNAs for plant Mg-deficiency tolerance.
