Identification of miRNAs and their target genes in genic male sterility lines in Brassica napus by small RNA sequencing

Abstract Background Brassica napus is the third leading source of edible oil in the world. Genic male sterility (GMS) lines provide crucial material for harnessing heterosis for rapeseed. GMS lines have been used successfully for rapeseed hybrid production in China. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial r...
