| Description |
Small RNAs play important roles in plant
development, metabolism, signal transduction and responses
to biotic and abiotic stresses by affecting gene
expression. Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is an important
commercial crop in the world. To understand the regulatory
mechanisms involving small RNAs in tea metabolism, we
constructed a small RNA (sRNA) library from its tea drink
manufacturing tissue part i.e. topmost two leaves and a
bud. For the first time, we isolated and cloned six novel
small RNAs candidates from tea. These were predicted to
target 67 genes responsible for various important plant
functions. Isolated small RNAs were validated through
expression analysis in young leaf and old leaf during nondormant
and dormant growth phases of tea. Results suggest
the probable role of isolated small RNAs in development
and seasonal variations of tea.
