Description
Chilling stress is a major factor limiting the yield and quality of vegetable soybean (Glycine max L.) on a global scale. Systematic identification and function analysis of miRNA under chilling stress could be helpful to clarify the molecular mechanism of chilling resistance. In the present study, two independent small RNA libraries from leaves of vegetable soybean were constructed, and sequenced with the high-throughput Illumina Solexa system. A total of 434 known miRNAs and three novel miRNAs were identified. Moreover, the expression patterns of these miRNAs have been verified by qRT-PCR analysis. Furthermore, we identified their gene targets by high-throughput degradome sequencing and validated using 5-RACE. A total of 898 transcripts were targeted by 54 miRNA families attributed to five categories. More importantly, we identified 55 miRNAs that differentially expressed between chilling stress and the control. The targets of these miRNAs were enriched in oxidation-reduction, signal transduction, and metabolic process functional categories. The qRT-PCR confirmed that there was a negative relationship among the miRNAs and their targets under chilling stress. Our work provides comprehensive molecular evidence for the possible involvement of miRNAs in the process of chilling-stress responses in vegetable soybean. Overall design: 24h chilling treatment and control were collected to extract total RNA to do small RNA sequencing and pooled to do degradome sequencing.
