Identification and Characterization of Known and Novel MicroRNAs in Five Tissues of Wax Gourd (<i>Benincasa hispida</i>) Based on High-Throughput Sequencing
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous single-stranded non-coding small RNAs of 20–24 nucleotides and play important roles in many plant biological and metabolic processes. Wax gourd is an important vegetable of Cucurbitacea family, with great economic and medicinal value. Although miRNAs have been exten...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous single-stranded non-coding small RNAs of 20–24 nucleotides and play important roles in many plant biological and metabolic processes. Wax gourd is an important vegetable of Cucurbitacea family, with great economic and medicinal value. Although miRNAs have been extensively studied in model plant species, less is known in wax gourd (<i>Benincasa hispida</i>). In this study, in order to identify miRNAs in wax groud, five independent small RNA libraries were constructed using leaf, root, stem, flower, and fruit of B227.
