MicroRNA and Putative Target Discoveries in Chrysanthemum Polyploidy Breeding by Fengjiao Zhang, Jingya Zhao, Sujuan Xu, Weimin Fang, Fadi Chen, Nianjun Teng

“…As a result, a total of 170 miRNAs were identified and there are 41 special miRNAs in cross of paternal chromosome doubling, such as miR169b, miR440, and miR528-5p. miR164c and miR159a were highly expressed in a normal embryo at 18 days after pollination, suggesting the regulatory role at the late stage of embryonic development. miR172c was only detected in the normal embryo at 18 days after pollination, which means that miR172c mainly mediates gene expression in postembryonic development and these genes may promote embryo maturation. …”
