“…Elevated levels of CO 2 and temperature can affect plant growth and development in general, but the signaling pathways that regulate these processes and which molecules are regulated by miRNAs under these conditions are still poorly understood. miRNAs can function in a complex regulatory network developed to deal with stressful conditions; several studies demonstrated that conserved miRNAs, such as miR160 and miR175, and new ones, had their expression altered by the elevation of temperature, which consequently resulted in the alteration of the expression of their genes target [36,39,[101][102][103][104]; in addition, temperature rise can induce intron splicing of miRNAs [105].…”

Over the centuries, human society has evolved based on the ability to select and use more adapted species for food supply, which means making plant species tastier and more productive in particular environmental conditions. However, nowadays, this scenario is highly threatened by climate change, especially by the changes in temperature and greenhouse gasses that directly affect photosynthesis, which highlights the need for strategic studies aiming at crop breeding and guaranteeing food security. This is especially worrying for crops with complex phenology, genomes with low variability, and the ones that support a large production chain, such as Coffea sp. L. In this context, recent advances shed some light on the genome function and transcriptional control, revealing small RNAs (sRNAs) that are responsible for environmental cues and could provide variability through gene expression regulation. Basically, sRNAs are responsive to environmental changes and act on the transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing pathways that regulate gene expression and, consequently, biological processes. Here, we first discuss the predicted impact of climate changes on coffee plants and coffee chain production and then the role of sRNAs in response to environmental changes, especially temperature, in different species, together with their potential as tools for genetic improvement. Very few studies in coffee explored the relationship between sRNAs and environmental cues; thus, this review contributes to understanding coffee development in the face of climate change and towards new strategies of crop breeding.

Increasing plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses may help to address global food insecurity. We review small RNA (sRNA) research and consider the potential of sRNA-based technologies as strategies to enhance plant resistance to environmental stresses. sRNAs are essential non-coding signalling molecules 21-24 nucleotides in length that are involved in various reproduction, defence and plant development processes. sRNAs guide regulatory processes during development and environmental adaptation at the DNA or RNA level in various eukaryotic organisms. They control gene expression in eukaryotes via a process commonly termed RNA silencing. sRNAs are responsible for suppressing some pathogenic genes in eukaryotes and pests. This suppression offers the potential to protect plant growth and development through a new generation of eco-friendly RNA-based fungicides or insecticides that are specific in their target and can easily control multiple diseases simultaneously. This review focuses on sRNA production in crop species, the role of sRNAs in plant responses to a range of stresses, and their prospective applications, highlighting sRNA-based technology and applications in crops under stress. This review could serve as a reference for future researchers working on small RNAs and the roles they play in plant response to environmental stresses.
