"Structural and Functional Characteristics of miRNAs in Five Strategic Millet Species and Their Utility in Drought Tolerance"^^ . "Millets are the strategic food crops in arid and drought-prone ecologies. Millets, by virtue\r\nof nature, are very well-adapted to drought conditions and able to produce sustainable\r\nyield.Millets have important nutrients that can help preventmicro-nutrientmalnutrition. As\r\na result of the adverse effect of climate change and widespread malnutrition, millets have\r\nattained a strategic position to sustain food and nutritional security. Although millets can\r\nadapt well to the drought ecologies where other cereals fail completely, the yield level is\r\nvery low under stress. There is a tremendous opportunity to increase the genetic potential\r\nof millet crops in dry lands when the genetics of the drought-tolerance mechanism is fully\r\nexplained. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the class of small RNAs that control trait expression.\r\nThey are part of the gene regulation but little studied in millets. In the present study,\r\nnovel miRNAs and gene targets were identified from the genomic resources of pearl\r\nmillet, sorghum, foxtail millet, finger millet, and proso millet through in silico approaches.\r\nA total of 1,002 miRNAs from 280 families regulating 23,158 targets were identified\r\nusing different filtration criteria in five millet species. The unique as well as conserved\r\nstructural features and functional characteristics of miRNA across millets were explained.\r\nAbout 84miRNAs were conserved acrossmillets in different species combinations, which\r\nexplained the evolutionary relationship of the millets. Further, 215 miRNAs controlling\r\n155 unique major drought-responsive genes, transcription factors, and protein families\r\nrevealed the genetics of drought tolerance that are accumulated in the millet genomes.\r\nThe miRNAs regulating the drought stress through specific targets or multiple targets\r\nshowed through a network analysis. The identified genes regulated by miRNA genes\r\ncould be useful in developing functional markers and used for yield improvement under\r\ndrought in millets as well as in other crops."^^ .
