Identification and Expression Analysis of miR166 Gene Family in Response to Salt Stress in <i>Chrysanthemum</i> by Di Wang, Shuheng Wang, Dongyang Zhang, Yuan Meng, Ying Qian, Siyu Feng, Yun Bai, Yunwei Zhou

“…Here, ten family members were identified by aligning cgr-miR166 with scaffold sequences from the <i>Chrysanthemum nankingense</i> genome database, naming them from <i>cgr-miR166a</i> to <i>cgr-miR166j</i>, and their precursors could form stable stem-loop structures. The mature regions were observed to be highly conserved, with the 3′ end being more conserved than the 5′ end. miR166s promoters have been found to contain cis-acting elements responsive to diverse stimuli like the phytohormones ABA and IAA. qRT-RCR results demonstrated that the transcriptome sequencing results were reliable and miR166 was present at different levels in the roots, stems, leaves and flowers of <i>Chrysanthemum</i>. …”
