Popis: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in all aspects of plant growth and development, but the genetic interactions of miRNAs and their target genes in woody plants are largely unknown. Here, we integrated association genetics and expression profiling to decipher the allelic variations and interactions of the Pto-MIR319 family of miRNAs and 12 putative Pto-miR319 target genes related to wood formation in 435 unrelated individuals of Populus tomentosa Carriere (Chinese white poplar). Expression pattern analysis showed that among all pairings between expressions of pre-miRNA of Pto-MIR319 members and targets, 70.0% showed negative correlation of expression levels (r = – 0.944 to 0.674, P
