miRNAs(microRNAs)are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs found in eukaryotes. They control gene expression by binding to target mRNA based on sequence complementarity,thereby resulting in cleavage or translational inhibition of target mRNA. This review summarizes the critical roles of miRNA in regulating horticultural crops growth and in particular development of roots,leaves,flowers,fruits and other organs.
