Identification and comparative analysis of the microRNA transcriptome in roots of two contrasting tobacco genotypes in response to cadmium stress.


ABSTRACT: Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is more acclimated to cadmium (Cd) uptake and preferentially enriches Cd in leaves than other crops. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating expression of various stress response genes in plants. However, genome-wide expression of miRNAs and their target genes in response to Cd stress in tobacco are still unknown. Here, miRNA high-throughput sequencing technology was performed using two contrasting tobacco genotypes Guiyan 1 and Yunyan 2 of Cd-sensitive and tolerance. Comprehensive analysis of miRNA expression profiles in control and Cd treated plants identified 72 known (27 families) and 14 novel differentially expressed miRNAs in the two genotypes. Among them, 28 known (14 families) and 5 novel miRNAs were considered as Cd tolerance associated miRNAs, which mainly involved in cell growth, ion homeostasis, stress defense, antioxidant and hormone signaling. Finally, a hypothetical model of Cd tolerance mechanism in Yunyan 2 was presented. Our findings suggest that some miRNAs and their target genes and pathways may play critical roles in Cd tolerance.
