Abstract:

miRNAs played an important role in abiotic stress, and miR398a and pre-miR398a sequences were obtained from Small RNA database of Chrysanthemum×grandiflora. The sequence alignment showed that the cgr-miR398a was highly conserved with the identified miR398a sequences of other plants. Target genes prediction of cgr-miR398a showed that their annotation of targets include superoxide dismutase[Cu-Zn](CSD2), copper chaperone(CCS), A20/AN1-like zinc finger family protein(SAP8). The qPCR assay showed that the expression levels of miR398a was significantly decreased while target genes showed contrary trend during salt stress in Chrysanthemum×grandiflora. To explore the function of cgr-mir398a in response to salt stress, and an overexpression vector of cgr-mir398a was constructed and transformedinto Arabidopsis thaliana.The result showed that overexpression of the cgr-MIR398a in Arabidopsis could decrease seed germination under salt stress and salt tolerance at the adult seedling stage, therefore cgr-miR398a played a negative regulatory role in Arabidopsis in response to salt stress. The results provided a valuable reference for further exploring the functional mechanism of miR398a during salt stress in Chrysanthemum×grandiflora.
