Unlabelled: Genetic diversity of plants is the brace of biodiversity and diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems. SSR markers are the most preferable molecular marker tool that has been successfully used to study the genetic diversity of plant species. Development of miRNA-SSR markers has been deed in animals but is still limited in plants. In this study, 365 precursors miRNA were extracted from (Ma) genome and used to design Ma miRNA-SSR primers. 137 Ma primer pairs (79 from known and 58 from novel pre-miRNAs) were obtained. 66 pairs of Ma miRNA-SSR primers were selected with polymorphisms and expected fragment size. The polymorphisms of primers were evaluated in 60 individuals of 15 Ma accessions. A total of 66 primer pairs showed high polymorphism, with average polymorphic information content of 0.49 among 15 Ma accessions and 0.63 among 18 species, indicating that these primers have high polymorphisms. The number of alleles produced per primer ranged from 2 to 6 with an average of 3.6 alleles per locus in Ma accessions, and 2 to 10 numbers of alleles with a mean of 5.24 alleles per locus in spp. For further studies, the genetic relationship was examined and the cluster analysis showed that 15 Ma accessions were grouped in three groups, on the other hand, 18 species clustered into two groups. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that 64.82% of the variation was found within the species and 35.18% between the species. The population structure analysis showed similar results with PCA analysis in that 18 species were grouped in two groups. In addition, 16,450 miRNA target genes were identified and used for GO and KEGG analysis. This is the first study to develop miRNA-SSR molecular markers in spp., which has a great potential for marker-assisted, genetic improvement, genotyping applications, QTL analysis, and molecular-assisted selection studies for plant breeders and other researchers.

Unlabelled: The gene-derived functional markers are considered effective to use in marker-assisted breeding and genetic diversity analysis. As of now, no functional markers have been identified from miRNAs regulating yield traits. The miRNAs play a key role as regulators in controlling the candidate genes involved in grain yield improvement in rice.

Micro-RNAs (mi-RNAs) are regulatory elements that play a vital role in the growth, development, and metabolic regulation of plants. In current research, the isolation of miRNAs is a tedious and difficult task using in vitro methods. However, recent exploration into the remarkably highly conserved nature of nucleotide sequences of miRNAs assists in the identification of miRNAs in plant species through homologous approaches.

Non-coding RNA (ncRNA)-based SSR markers are highly useful in molecular breeding as ncRNAs play a significant role in gene regulation. In the present study, for the first time in coconut, we have identified 597 ncRNA-derived SSR markers, including 509 long non-coding RNASSRs (lncRNASSRs) and 88 micro RNASSRs (miRNASSRs). Of these, 20 primers (10 each from lncRNA-SSR and miRNA-SSR) were selected, screened on 6 coconut accessions, and 50% produced polymorphic fragments.
