Abstract:

Current studies have shown that a number of microRNA(miRNA)families are involved in plant flowering time regulation and phase transition,etc. Therefore,it is very instructive for the phase transition regulation of fruit trees to gain insight into microRNA family associated with phase transition in jujube tree. In this study,the new shoots at different development stages(nodes)of jujube progenies were used as materials. Firstly,27 miRNA families with 58 known miRNAs and 23 novel miRNAs were identified by small RNA sequencing analysis in the three different development stages of juvenile,transition and adult period. Among them,44 miRNAs were differentially expressed,including 32 known miRNAs and 12 novel miRNAs. Afterward,six miRNAs(zjmiR156a-5p,zjmiR156j,zjmiR172c,zjmiRmir172e-3p,zjmiRnovel-16 and zjmiRnovel-71)with obviously differential expression in the three development stages were screened out. Their 15 key target genes were also predicted through TargetFinder software,and they are mainly involved in flowering,transcriptional regulation and biosynthesis. Finally,the differential expression of the above-mentioned 12 miRNAs and their 15 key target genes during phase transition were verified by qRT-PCR,and they had positive or negative regulatory relationships. Moreover,the two newly discovered miRNAs(zjmiRnovel-16 and zjmiRnovel-71)may affect the phase transition through photoperiod pathway and glucose metabolism pathway,respectively.
