| Abstract | Post embryonic life of higher plants begins with the germination of dormant seeds. Mature seeds of most of the higher plants harbour dormant embryos and go through the complex process of germination under favourable environmental conditions. The germination process involves dynamic physiological, cellular and metabolic events that are controlled by the interplay of several gene products and different phyto hormones. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a major class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs of 19-22 nucleotides length. They have been implicated in various aspects of plant development and physiology. Some miRNAs have been shown to be important in seed development and germination. However, global expression pattern and role of miRNAs during stages and conditions of seed germination remains elusive. Using functional genomics approach, we have identified 58 miRNAs that are differently expressed and regulate target genes during various stages and conditions of seed germination in Arabidopsis. Amongst them 15 differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR).We identified miRNA targets, annotated their functions and analysed their expression patterns. In majority of the cases, we observed a strong correlation between expression pattern of miRNAs and their targets indicating role of miRNA mediated post-transcriptional gene regulation in seed germination. Interestingly, the expression of miR390, which regulate the production of a trans acting-small interfering RNA (ta-siRNA), called tasiR-ARF correlates with that of Auxin Response Factor 2/3/4 (ARF2/3/4), targets of tasiR-ARF. We have showed that the germination efficiency and viability of seeds of ta-siRNA biogenesis pathway mutant allele sgs3-11 are significantly altered under abiotic stress conditions, suggesting that both miRNAs, ta-siRNAs and their targets contribute to seed germination process under normal and stress conditions. Functional characterisation of miR165/166 using target mimic line seeds (eTM-miR165/166) suggests its role in seed viability and germination efficiency under normal and various abiotic stress conditions. |

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.
