Identification and profiling of miRNAs during herbivory reveals jasmonate-dependent and -independent patterns of accumulation in <it>Nicotiana attenuata</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in the transcriptional responses to environmental stresses. However, the role of miRNAs in responses to insect herbivory has not been thoroughly explored. To identify herbivory-responsive miRNA...
