The regulation of microRNA under drought stress by phytohormones in rice. The legend above provides elaboration on the functions depicted by each arrow. The above miRNAs were identified post treatment with ABA and drought. Their up or down regulation resulted in a positive or negative effect on target transcription factors (auxin response factor (ARF), NAC, MYB, Nuclear factor Y (NFY), and DDB1 binding WD40 (DWD)). These interactions resulted in either an increase or decrease in the expression of drought stress related genes such as GH3. Hormones such as auxin, Abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellin (GA), and brassinosteroid (BR) play an important role in drought response. The processes affected by the interaction between the miRNA-Transcription Factor-gene complex is elaborated within the text.
