Mature miRNAs act in plant development, in response to abiotic stresses, and also in the control of nutrient homeostasis. Depending on the plant species, the miRNA/target genes are modulated differently in the same biological conditions. Only miRNA targets already confirmed by expression analysis and/or degradome sequencing were included in this diagram. TIR: F-box protein; AGL: agamous like; GRF: growth regulating factor; SCR: scarecrow like; ARF: auxin response factor; NAC (NAM): no apical meristem; SPL; squamosa promter binding like; HDZip III; homeodomain transcription factor; APETALA; GAMyb: Gibberelic Acid Myb transcription factor; TCPs: Teosinte Branched/cycloidea transcription factor; AGOs: Argonaute; PHO2: phosphate 2 - E2 Conjugase protein; Low affinity transporter; ATP sulphurilases; SODs: superoxide dismutase; CBP: Copper Ion Binding Protein; Laccases; Basic pentacysteine 2; L-AO: L- ascorbate oxidase; NF-YA: CCAAT-box binding transcription factor.
