Investigations on Regulation of MicroRNAs in Rice Reveal [Ca²⁺]_cyt Signal Transduction Regulated MicroRNAs.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical components of the multidimensional regulatory networks in eukaryotic systems. Given their diverse spectrum of function, it is apparent that the transcription, processing, and activity of the miRNAs themselves, is very dynamically regulated. One of the most important and universally implicated signaling molecules is [Ca²⁺]_cyt. It is known to regulate a plethora of developmental and metabolic processes in both plants and animals; however, its impact on the regulation of miRNA expression is relatively less explored. The current study employed a combination of internal and external calcium channel inhibitors to establishing that [Ca²⁺]_cyt signatures actively regulate miRNA expression in rice. Involvement of [Ca^2+<
