microRNAs	The miR169, miR156 and miR2118 were upregulated during stress due to water deficiency of the soil. MiR169 can control the expression of NFY and eventually the expression of AQN and DHN by reducing transcription, or by a mechanism of post-transcriptional degradation.	Muthusamy et al., 2014 [32]
LncRNAs	They are crucial regulators of gene transcription in plants in response to biotic and abiotic stress.	Muthusamy et al., 2015 [33]
