| Abstract | Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that are important regulators of gene expression, and play major roles in plant development and their response to the environment. Root extracts from Panax notoginseng contain triterpene saponins as their principal bioactive constituent, and demonstrate medicinal properties. To investigate the novel and conserved miRNAs in P. notoginseng, three small RNA libraries constructed from 1-, 2-, and 3-year-old roots in which root saponin levels vary underwent high-throughput sequencing. Methods P. notoginseng roots, purified from 1-, 2-, and 3-year-old roots, were extracted for RNA, respectively. Three small libraries were constructed and subjected to next generation sequencing. Results Sequencing of the three libraries generated 67,217,124 clean reads from P. notoginseng roots. A total of 316 conserved miRNAs (belonging to 67 miRNA families and one unclassified family) and 52 novel miRNAs were identified. MIR156 and MIR166 were the largest miRNA families, while miR156i and miR156g showed the highest abundance of miRNA species. Potential miRNA target genes were predicted and annotated using Cluster of Orthologous Groups, Gene Ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. Comparing these miRNAs between root samples revealed 33 that were differentially expressed between 2- and 1-year-old roots (8 increased, 25 decreased), 27 differentially expressed between 3- and 1-year-old roots (7 increased, 20 decreased), and 29 differentially expressed between 3- and 2-year-old roots (8 increased, 21 decreased). Two significantly differentially expressed miRNAs and four miRNAs predicted to target genes involved in the terpenoid backbone biosynthesis pathway were selected and validated by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Furthermore, the expression patterns of these six miRNAs were analyzed in P. notoginseng roots, stems, and leaves at different developmental stages. Conclusions This study identified a large number of P. notoginseng miRNAs and their target genes, functional annotations, and gene expression patterns. It provides the first known miRNA profiles of the P. notoginseng root development cycle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
