Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a miRNA that regulates the expression of an anti-rust fungus infection gene. Background technique
[0002] MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNAs (smallRNAs) that can regulate gene expression, mainly by binding to the target gene mRNA or the 3'-untranslated region (3'-untranslated region, 3'-UTR) of the target gene mRNA To degrade the gene mRNA or hinder its translation, thereby controlling gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. The earliest discovered miRNAs were 18-22 nt long RNA molecules complementary to the 3'-UTR of target gene transcripts observed in C. elegans, including the lin-4 and let-7 genes, and the development of C. elegans is regulated by these RNA genes . Subsequently, miRNAs were found in various tissues including nematodes, Drosophila and human, and the report of plant miRNAs began in 2002. With the development of modern biotechnology and molecular biology, the number of discov...
