MiRNAs profiling and degradome sequencing revealed the different between the CMS-line N816A and its maintainer line N816B associated with fertility in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Capsicum annuum

Utilization of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is significant for vegetable crop production. MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) are a class of non-coding small RNAs molecules (21-24 nt) that play key roles in the regulation of various growth and developmental processes in plants. The knowledge is rather limited concerning miRNA- related regulatory mechanisms involved in CMS of pepper. Here, miRNA libraries from anther of CMS-line N816A and its maintainer line N816B were generated by miRNAome sequencing in pepper.
