zma-miR166c-3p: Zma-mir166c-3p, a member of the miR166 family, is down-regulated in the A3-A9 dwarf mutant and targets various genes including homeobox-leucine zipper protein, peroxidase, ABA responsive element binding factor, and ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase subunit M2 [PMC4628322]. In a study investigating non-infected and infected treatments at different stages, 15 differentially expressed miRNAs and their target genes were screened for RT-PCR verification, including zma-mir166c-3p [PMC9222952]. XPB2, a target gene, is predicted to be targeted by the miR166 family, which includes zma-mir166c-3p [PMC8472271]. The expression levels of XPB2 were authenticated for six miRNAs, including zma-mir166c-3p [PMC8472271]. Additionally, various other target genes were identified for different miRNAs, such as RPA1B for four miRNAs, AlkA for three miRNAs, MSH3 for two miRNAs, MSH-like for two miRNAs, REX1 for two miRNAs, as well as RAD23, XPC, Hhh-GPD, MRE11, and RAD51B each targeted by a specific miRNA [PMC8472271]. The expression relationships between miRNAs and their target genes were observed as expected [PMC8472271].
