The timing of flowering is a key determinant for plant reproductive. It has been demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in transition from the vegetative to reproductive stage in cotton; however, knowledge remains limited about the regulatory role of miRNAs involved in flowering time regulation in cotton. To elucidate the molecular basis of miRNAs in response to flowering time in cotton, we performed high-throughput small RNA sequencing at the fifth true leaf stage. We identified 56 and 43 miRNAs that were significantly up- and downregulated in two elite early flowering cultivars (EFC) compared with two late flowering cultivars (LFC), respectively. The miRNA targets by RNA sequencing analysis showed that GhSPL4 in SBP transcription factor family targeted by GhmiR156 was significantly upregulated in EFCs. Co-expression regulatory network analysis (WGCNA) revealed that GhSOC1, GhAP1, GhFD, GhCOL3, and GhAGL16 act as node genes in the auxin- and gibberellin-mediated flowering time regulatory networks in cotton. Therefore, elucidation of miRNA-mediated flowering time regulatory network will contribute to our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying flowering time in cotton. |
