Cold-responsive miRNAs and their target genes in the wild eggplant species Solanum aculeatissimum

Abstract Background Low temperature is an important abiotic stress in plant growth and development, especially for thermophilic plants. Eggplants are thermophilic vegetables, although the molecular mechanism of their response to cold stress remains to be elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of...
