Identification of microRNA and analysis of target genes in Panax ginseng

Small RNA-Seq to Unveil the miRNA Expression Patterns and Identify the Target Genes in Panax ginseng

“…In other plants, many conserved miRNAs have been identified, although only relatively few have been well characterized [28][29][30]. In ginseng, the current research on miRNA is on the roots of different parts of ginseng [23] and different ages [24], and the research on the ginseng adventitious roots and ginseng hairy roots has not been reported. Therefore, we performed high-throughput sequencing on the adventitious and hairy roots of ginseng and obtained the sRNA map of the adventitious and hairy roots of ginseng.…”

“…A total of 71 miRNA families, including 34 conserved miRNAs, 37 non-conserved miRNA families, and 179 target genes of 17 known miRNAs, were obtained from three-and fiveyear-old ginseng roots. These results indicated that different miRNAs were in ginseng roots of different growth years [24]. Wang et al [25] identified 3798 miRNAs, including 298 known miRNAs and 3500 potential novel miRNAs from three ginseng samples of Changbai Mountain in China.…”

“…(Renshen in Chinese), also known as the king of herbs, is rich in ginsenosides, polysaccharides, volatile oils, etc. Extensive research has contributed to improve the P. ginseng industry ( Wang et al, 2023 ). Nowadays, a variety of ginseng-based products, such as tea, cosmetics, and medicinal excipients, are being developed.…”
