DEEP SEQUENCING OF BRACHYPODIUM SMALL RNAS AT THE GLOBAL GENOME LEVEL IDENTIFIES MICRORNAS INVOLVED IN COLD STRESS RESPONSE

Deep sequencing of Brachypodium small RNAs at the global genome level identifies microRNAs involved in cold stress response

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs having large-scale regulatory effects on plant development and stress responses.Extensive studies of miRNAs have only been performed in a few model plants.Although miRNAs are proved to be involved in plant cold stress responses, little is known for winter-habit monocots.Brachypodium d
