Background: Even though miRNAs play vital roles in developmental biology by regulating the translation of mRNAs, they are poorly studied in oomycetes, especially in the plant pathogen .

Objective: The study aimed to predict and identify the putative miRNAs and their targets in and .

Methods: The homology-based comparative method was used to identify the unique miRNA sequences in and with 148,689 EST and TSA sequences of these species.
