growth and development. Several studies showed that miRNAs are involved in plants response to different kinds of&#13;
abiotic stresses also. In our previous study, temperature responsive miRNAs were predicted in O.sativa. 27 miRNAs were&#13;
predicted to be novel in rice using homology search. In continuation to our previous study, expression of 14 novel&#13;
miRNAs was done in shoot and root of 13 days old seedlings of five different rice cultivars using real time PCR. Expression&#13;
these miRNAs was analyzed in control and high temperature stress environment. Out of 14 predicted novel miRNAs, two&#13;
novel miRNAs- miR157a and miR165a showed expression in all five rice cultivars. Interestingly, miR165a showed a&#13;
differential expression pattern among heat tolerant (N22, IR64 and Rasi) and susceptible (Vandana and Sampada)&#13;
cultivars suggesting that it might have specific role in high temperature tolerance.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Abiotic Stress</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Rice</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Genetics and Genomics</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Climate Change</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2017</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Academy for Environment and Life Sciences, India</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
