“…In contrast, inhibited miRNA expression caused early flowering (Li et al, ). miR 172 not only regulate flower development but also involve in floral meristem initiation and phage change; this process is achieved through the interaction of miR 172 and its target Apetala 2 (AP2) that regulates the expression of SOC1, LFY and AP1 (Aukerman and Sakai, ; Chen et al, ; Mlotshwa et al, ; Glazinska et al, ; Zhu et al, ; Wollmann et al, ; Yant et al, ; Zhu and Helliwell, ; Varkonyi‐Gasic et al, ). One study also show that miR 172 also targets a gene encoding SCHLAFMUTZE (SMZ), a potent repressor of flowering and affects flowering (Mathieu et al, ).…”

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of newly discovered endogenous small RNAs, which negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcription levels. As the application of next-generation deep sequencing and advanced bioinformatics, the miRNA-related study has been expended to non-model plant species and the number of identified miRNAs has dramatically increased in the past years. miRNAs play a critical role in almost all biological and metabolic processes, and provide a unique strategy for plant improvement. Here, we first briefly review the discovery, history, and biogenesis of miRNAs, then focus more on the application of miRNAs on plant breeding and the future directions. Increased plant biomass through controlling plant development and phase change has been one achievement for miRNA-based biotechnology; plant tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress was also significantly enhanced by regulating the expression of an individual miRNA. Both endogenous and artificial miRNAs may serve as important tools for plant improvement.
