  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: ORAL PRESENTATION ABSTRACTS

In plants, microRNAs and siRNAs are small RNAs regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Here, we use deep-sequencing, computational and molecular methods to identify, profile, and describe conserved and non-conserved miRNAs. We also identified and characterized vsiRNAs derived from grapevine field plants naturally infected with different viruses belonging to the genera Foveavirus, Maculavirus, Maravirus and Nepovirus. These vsiRNAs were mainly of 21 and 22 nucleotides (nt) in size and were discontinuously distributed throughout viral genome. In addition we have identified host and viral genes targeted by small RNAs.
