Abstract

The present invention provides new miRNAs in rice. The nucleic acids of the invention can be used to control gene expression in plants.

Claims (4)

1. An isolated miRNA set forth in SEQ ID NO:12.

2. A recombinant expression cassette encoding the miRNA of claim 1 .

3. A transgenic plant comprising the expression cassette of claim 2 .

4. A method of inhibiting down-regulation of a target coding region, wherein the coding region comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding SEQ ID NO:12 the method comprising mutating at least one nucleotide in the polynucleotide sequence to render the coding region resistant to miRNA mediated down-regulation.
