Project Title
- Identification of novel stress-regulated microRNAs from Oryza sativa L.
The Background of This Project
- A class of small RNA molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs) has been identified in recent years. MiRNAs are endogenous non-coding
RNAs, are 20–22 nucleotides long, and regulate gene expression in eukaryotes ranging from animals to plants [1–6].
- Four Dicer-like enzymes (DCL1–DCL4) are encoded in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana [20]. It has been shown that DCL1 is involved in miRNA accumulation [21]. However, there is no dcl1 mutant available for rice. A recent study has shown that the loss of
function of OsDCL1 transformants could be used to identify miRNAs[22].
