Expression profiling of miRNAs and predicted target genes of drought susceptible Co 8021 (V1) and drought tolerant Co 06022 (V2) sugarcane cultivars subjected to 10 days drought stress. The target genes are cellulose synthase, RGA2 disease resistance protein RGA2, AP2-EREBP AP2-EREBP transcription factor, peroxidase, XET xyloglucan endotransglucosylase hydrolase, HSP 70 heat shock protein 70-kDa, ZFP zinc finger domain superfamily protein, defensin, WRKY WRKY transcription factor and ABA abscisic acid. In qRT-PCR each bar represents the average of three replicates and error bars indicate SE
