In plants there are several classes of 21-24-nt short RNAs that regulate gene expression. The most conserved class is the microRNAs (miRNAs), although some miRNAs are found only in specific species. We used high-throughput pyrosequencing to identify conserved and nonconserved miRNAs and other short RNAs in tomato fruit and leaf. Several conserved miRNAs showed tissue-specific expression, which, combined with target gene validation results, suggests that miRNAs may play a role in fleshy fruit dev ...[more]
