Abstract

MicroRNA (miRNA)-guided target RNA expression is vital for a wide variety of biological processes in eukaryotes. Currently, miRBase (version 13) lists 142 and 353 miRNAs from Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa), respectively. The integration of miRNAs in diverse biological networks relies upon the confirmation of their RNA targets. In contrast with the well-characterized miRNA targets that are cleaved in Arabidopsis, only a few such targets have been confirmed in rice. To identify small RNA targets in rice, we applied the 'degradome sequencing' approach, which globally identifies the remnants of small RNA-directed target cleavage by sequencing the 5' ends of uncapped RNAs. One hundred and sixty targets of 53 miRNA families (24 conserved and 29 rice-specific) and five targets of TAS3-small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were identified. Surprisingly, an additional conserved target for miR398, which has not been reported so far, has been validated. Besides conserved homologous transcripts, 23 non-conserved genes for nine conserved miRNAs and 56 genes for 29 rice-specific miRNAs were also identified as targets. Besides miRNA targets, the rice degradome contained fragments derived from MIRNA precursors. A closer inspection of these fragments revealed a unique pattern distinct from siRNA-producing loci. This attribute can serve as one of the ancillary criteria for separating miRNAs from siRNAs in plants.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
