Small RNA sequencing of NlCSP1-infiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana

In order to find the miRNAs, target genes and signaling pathways related to the dwarf phenotype induced by NlCSP1, 35S-NlCSP1 and 35S-GFP control were infiltrated into Nicotiana benthamiana. We analyzed the differentially expressed miRNAs in the infiltrated leaves (NlCSP1_Z/GFP_Z) and the upper uninfiltrated leaves (NlCSP1_O/GFP_O) of N. benthamiana. A total of 106 and 97 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in NlCSP1_Z/GFP_Z and NlCSP1_O/GFP_O, respectively. KEGG annotation revealed a large number of differentially expressed miRNAs involved in plant hormone signal transduction, indicating that NlCSP1 changed the hormone signal pathway in N. benthamiana. In order to find the miRNAs, target genes and signaling pathways related to the dwarf phenotype induced by NlCSP1, 35S-NlCSP1 and 35S-GFP control were infiltrated into the infiltrated leaves (NlCSP1_Z/GFP_Z) and the upper uninfiltrated leaves (NlCSP1_O/GFP_O) of Nicotiana benthamiana.
