MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous genes regulators which regulate different processes underlying plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. To gain a deep understanding of role of miRNAs in plants, in the present study, we computationally analyzed different sorghum miRNAs in the drought-induced gene sequences. Homologous miRNA were identified using different plant miRNA databases. Using previously established genes databases, various targets of sorghum miRNAs were predicted viz: transcription factors, chaperonins, metabolic enzymes and other gene targets necessary for proper plant development. Analysis of cis-elements provides molecular evidence for the possible involvement of miRNAs in the process of abiotic stress tolerance in sorghum. Based on these results, it was suggested that miRNAs may play an important role in water stress tolerance.

1988 lncRNAs were identified in sweet sorghum roots under cadmium treatment; lncRNA 15962 and lncRNA 11558 were validated to be the key lncRNAs involved in regulating cadmium accumulation and translocation. Cadmium (Cd) has become one of the most harmful and widespread pollutants with industry development. Sweet sorghum is an ideal plant for phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil.

Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) cleave carotenoid molecules to produce bioactive products that influence the synthesis of hormones such as abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactones (SL), which regulate plant growth, development, and stress adaptation. Here, to explore the molecular characteristics of all members of the OsCCO family in rice, fourteen family genes were identified in the genome-wide study. The results revealed that the OsCCO family included one OsNCED and four OsCCD subfamilies.

Drought stress strongly affects crop yield. Although knowledge of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been updated continuously and rapidly, information about lncRNAs in drought resistance regulation is extremely limited in sorghum. Here, lncRNA-sequencing was performed with seedlings of a sorghum cultivar (Jinza29) under three water control treatments to investigate the mechanism of lncRNAs responsible for drought resistance in sorghum.

Article Synopsis
- The Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) can infect various crops, including maize and sugarcane, and was found in goose grass near maize fields in China showing symptoms like mosaic and chlorosis.
- In August 2023, symptomatic goose grass samples were collected, and their RNA was isolated to create a small RNA library for high-throughput sequencing (HTS).
- Analysis revealed 34 contigs closely matched the SCMV genome, indicating a low coverage possibly due to factors like sequencing depth and variability in the viral genome.
