Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】 microRNA , as a kind of small endogenous non-coding RNA, affects plant various biological process by negatively regulating the expression of corresponding target genes. Halostachys caspica as a salt-diluted short shrub belonging to the Chenopodiaceae is distributed widely in acrid and saline-alkali region of Xinjiang and shows extreme salt-tolerance. In this study, the expression patterns and correlations of miR393b and the predicted target gene TIR1 of this species under salt stress were discussed.【Method】 The analysis of bioinformatics was used to predict the target gene using the H. caspica transcriptome data. The relative expression of Halostachys caspica miR393b and TIR1 was detected by qRT-PCR under salt stress using this species' branches and the correlation analysis was performed. 【Result】miR393b between different plant species is highly conserved through sequence alignment; The H.caspica branches miR393b and HcTIR1 responded to salt stress and showed a certain negative correlation under high sanility of 600 mM NaCl.【Conclusion】Halostachys caspica miR393b and the predictive target gene responded to salt stress and both of them had a certain negative correlation under high salt concentration. The results of this study laid the foundation for further exploration of the biological function of miR393b and HcTIR1 in the halophyte Halostachys caspica.
