<h4>Premise of the study</h4>Sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a perennial aquatic herbaceous plant of ecological, ornamental, and economic importance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in plant development. However, reports of miRNAs and their role in sacred lotus have been limited.<h4>Methods</h4>Using the homology search of known miRNAs with genome and transcriptome contig sequences, we employed a pipeline to identify miRNAs in N. nucifera. We also predicted the targets of these miRN ...[more]
