Identification and expression profiling of microRNAs involved in the stigma exsertion under high-temperature stress in tomato

Abstract

Overall, a global spectrum of known and novel miRNAs involved in tomato stigma exsertion and induced by high temperatures were identified using high-throughput sequencing and molecular biology approaches, laying a foundation for revealing the miRNA-mediated regulatory network involved in the development of tomato stamens and pistils under high-temperature conditions.
