MiR5651, miR170-3p, and miR171a-3p Regulate Cadmium Tolerance by Targeting <i>MSH2</i> in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> by Xianpeng Wang, Hetong Wang, Xiuru Sun, Zihan Tang, Zhouli Liu, Richard A. Ludlow, Min Zhang, Qijiang Cao, Wan Liu, Qiang Zhao

“…The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system plays a crucial role in repairing DNA damage and regulating cell cycle arrest induced by cadmium (Cd) stress. To elucidate the mechanism by which miRNAs target <i>AtMSH2</i> in regulating <i>Arabidopsis</i>’ response to Cd stress, the wild-type <i>Arabidopsis</i>, <i>Atmsh2</i> mutant, and three miRNA-overexpressing transgenic lines were grown hydroponically in half-strength MS solution containing cadmium (Cd) at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mg/L for 5 days. miRNA-seq analysis, bioinformatics prediction, dual-luciferase reporter assays, and qRT-PCR results demonstrated that miR5651, miR170-3p, and miR171a-3p specifically targeted <i>AtMSH2</i> and their expression levels showed a significant negative correlation. …”
