Identified miRNAs having targets of pathogen secretome.
Serial number | miRNA | Target genes | Functions |
---|---|---|---|
1 | TamiR39 | Beta-glucanase | Have roles in plant defense by degrading cell walls of pathogen, thereby disrupting its deposition and contributing to pathogen death; subsequently, the released cell wall fragments act as elicitors for host defense response. |
2 | TamiR37, TamiR38 | Peroxidase 6 | Play important role in physiological processes like responses to biotic and abiotic stresses and biosynthesis of lignin and are involved in the scavenging of oxidative damage causing ROS. |
3 | TamiR10, TamiR43 | Calreticulin like protein | Ubiquitous protein crucial for plant growth and development; powerful regulator in stress responses such as cold, drought, phytohormones, and pathogen. |
4 | TamiR40 | Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase | A key enzyme in lignin biosynthesis that catalyzes the final step in conversion of monolignols and also increases the strength and lodging resistance of stem tissues in monocot. |
5 | TamiR36 | Pr1 | Involved in plant defence responses against fungal pathogens |
