Abstract:

In the previous study,a series of novel miRNAs that show significantly different expression in the early organ development of cauliflower were obtained by high-throughput sequencing. In the present study,a novel miRNA that showed different expression between cauliflower hypocotyl and cotyledon was named Bra-miR07 and further analyzed. The results indicated that the sequence length of Bra-miR07 precursor was 270 bp which can form the stable secondary hairpin structure. Bra-miR07 appeared higher expression in cauliflower cotyledon than that in hypocotyl. To further uncover the function of Bra-miR07,overexpression vector of Bra-miR07 was constructed and transferred into Arabidopsis thaliana by floral dip,and the Bra-miR07 overexpression transgenic plants were successfully obtained. Phenotypic analyses showed that overexpression of Bra-miR07 can significantly influence thegrowth and development of transgenic plants. Compared with wild-type Arabidopsis,Bra-miR07 transgenic plants showed slow growth,dwarf plant and lower fertility. Consequently,these results implied that Bra-miR07 may also play important roles in regulation of cauliflower organ development.
