Characterization of drought responsive miRNome in flag leaf of rice.. Drought responsive miRNome of rice

Here we present the characterization of miRNome of PB1, indica rice cultivar under natural as well as field drought conditions. The drought stress was adminstered at heading stage of development and flag leaves were harvested. The small RNA cDNA liberaries were generated and sequenced on illumina platform. The raw high quality reads were trimmed to remove the adapter and analysed using in-house generated pipeline to obtain the expression levels of miRNAs.
