Accepted date: November 25, 2017
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~18 to 24-nucleotide non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels through cleavage or translational inhibition of target mRNA. In addition to the key regulatory processes such as cellular, biological‚ and developmental functions, a considerable fraction of miRNAs have been shown to play important roles in abiotic and biotic stress responses, such as nutritional deficiency, drought, salinity, cold, heat, oxidative stress, and heavy metal. Being a naturally stress tolerant crop, foxtail millet has invited research on genome-wide identification and characterization of miRNAs for their role(s) in abiotic stress. In this context, the present chapter summarizes the classes of small RNAs with emphasis on miRNAs and provides a snapshot on their roles in stress regulatory machinery in foxtail millet. Studies on millet genomics in Dr. Manoj Prasad’s laboratory are supported by Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India [Grant No. EMR/2015/000464], by Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India [Grant No. BT/HRD/NBA/37/01/2014], and by Core Grant of National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), New Delhi, India. Hari-Gowthem G acknowledges Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India for the research fellowship. |
