To characterize the microRNAs that contribute to the development of brace root, Solexa high-throughput sequencing of three libraries derived from tissues of node (N), nodes with just-emerged brace roots (NR), and nodes with just-emerged brace roots after IAA treatment (NRI) was performed. Total 650,793, 957,303 and 1,082,948 genome-matched unique reads were obtained in N, NR and NRI libraries, respectively. Further analysis confirmed the authenticity of 137 known miRNAs and the discovery of 159 novel miRNAs in maize. 14 conserved and 16 novel miRNAs differentially expressed in brace root, as well as 15 target genes, were identified and validated by qRT-PCR during maize brace root development. Moreover, we identified 9 miRNA precursor-matched novel sRNAs that may form miRNA clusters, as well as 24 nt siRNAs in the three libraries. In addition, we suggest that auxin represent a regulator in brace root development and can be regulated at the posttranscriptional level by miRNAs. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
