MicroRNA (miRNA) has emerged as an important regulator of gene expression in plants. 146 miRNAs were identified from apple (Malus domestica cv. Golden Delicious) by bioinformatic analysis and RNA library sequencing.From these, 135 were conserved and 11 were novel miRNAs. Target analysis predicted one of the novel miRNAs,Md-miRLn11 (Malus domestica microRNA Ln11), targeted an apple nucleotide-b…
