Combined small RNA and degradome sequencing reveals novel miRNAs and their ta…

Background and Aims: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the responses and adaptation of plants to many stresses including low nitrogen (LN). Characterizing relevant miRNAs will improve our understanding of nitrogen (N) use efficiency andLN tolerance and thus contribute to sustainable maize production. The objective of this study was to identify novel and known miRNAs and their targ…
