zma-miR390a-5p: Zma-mir390a-5p is a novel-miR-39 that targets Zm00001d052147, a gene involved in regulating pericarp thickness [PMC9361504]. The target gene of zma-mir390a-5p is LRR receptor-like serine/threonine-protein kinase FLS2 (Zm00001d002287) [PMC9361504]. Zma-mir390a-5p also targets ZM2G155490_T01 and ZM2G304745_T01, which encode LRR receptor-like kinase [PMC6470939]. Through functional annotations and GO enrichment analysis, zma-mir390a-5p and its target gene GRMZM2G134396 (AMP-deaminase) were found to be involved in regulating seed storability through abscisic acid signaling and purine metabolism [PMC9604548]. High-throughput sequencing identified zma-miR169o-5p, zma-mir390a-5p, zma-miR396c, zma-miR444a, zma-miR397b-p5, and novel-miR4 as potential regulators of seed storability [PMC9604548]. These miRNAs were found to be negatively correlated with seed vigor except for zma-miR444 which was up-regulated with decreasing seed vigor [PMC9604548]. GO enrichment analysis revealed that nine miRNAs including zma-mir390a-5p were down-regulated and four miRNAs were up-regulated in relation to seed storability [PMC9604548]. The target genes of interest for these miRNAs include GRMZM2G165488 (target of zma-miR169o-5p), GRMZM2G134396 (target of zma-mir390a-5p), GRMZM2G133568, GRMZM2G098594, and GRMZM2G105335 (targets of zma-miR396c_L-1), and GRMZM2G399072 (target of zma-miR444) [PMC9604548]. Additionally, zma-mir390a-5p was found to be reduced in B73 + T28, which had enhanced resistance to SCLB compared to B73 without T28 treatment [PMC9964586].
