MicroRNA (miRNA), a type of non-coding RNA, is crucial for controlling gene expression. Among the various miRNA families, miR166 stands out as a highly conserved group found in both model and crop plants. It plays a key role in regulating a wide range of developmental and environmental responses. In this review, we explore the diverse sequences of in major crops and discuss the important regulatory functions of miR166 in plant growth and stress responses. Additionally, we summarize how miR166 interacts with other miRNAs and highlight the potential for enhancing agronomic traits by manipulating the expression of miR166 and its targeted genes.
MicroRNA (miRNA)，一种非编码 RNA，对于控制基因表达至关重要。在各种 miRNA 家族中，miR166 作为一个高度保守的家族存在于模式植物和作物中。它在调节广泛的发育和环境响应中起着关键作用。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了主要作物中 miR166 的不同序列，并讨论了 miR166 在植物生长和应激反应中的重要调节功能。此外，我们总结了 miR166 如何与其他 miRNAs 相互作用，并强调了通过操纵 miR166 的表达及其靶向基因来提高农艺性状的潜力。
