ath-miR167a-5p: Ath-mir167a-5p is a precursor of a miRNA that is overexpressed in apomictic samples [PMC6567921]. Another member of the miR167 family, ccl-miR167a, showed a modest increase in expression [PMC6567921]. Ath-mir167a-5p targets five different DElncRNAs, while the lncRNA TCONS_00001191 is targeted by two miRNAs, ath-miR164a and ath-miR164c-5p [PMC9971629]. Ath-mir167a-5p, along with other miRNAs such as ath-miR167b and ath-miR5665, targets genes such as ARF6, ARF8, ARF5, ARF2, and ARF3 [PMC8151434]. Fifteen miRNAs related to seed germination were selected to validate their expression using qRT-PCR [PMC8151434]. The target genes of these 15 miRNAs were found to be related to plant hormones based on KEGG and GO analysis [PMC8151434]. The expression of ath-mir167a-5p and other miRNAs was found to be down-regulated in eno2-, while the expression of other miRNAs was up-regulated [PMC8151434]. MIR167a (ath-mir167a-5p precursor) was identified as the major functional precursor for MIR167 in vivo with a strong regulatory effect on ARF8 [PMC7769420]. Ath-mir167a-5p was identified as the main regulator of ARF8 based on reverse searching using "Reverse Digger" tool [PMC7769420].
