Shortfall of rain that creates drought like situation in non-irrigated agriculture system often limits rice production, necessitating introduction of drought tolerance trait into the cultivar of interest. The mechanism governing drought tolerance is, however, largely unknown, particularly the involvement of miRNAs, the master regulators of biochemical events. In this regard, response study on a drought tolerant rice variety KMJ 1-12-3 to 20% PEG (osmolality- 315 mOsm/kg) as drought stress revealed significant changes in abundance of several conserved miRNAs targeting transcription factors like homeodomain-leucine zipper, MADS box family protein, C2H2 zinc finger protein and Myb, well known for their importance in drought tolerance in plants.
