By using high⁃throughput miRNA sequencing technology,differentially expressed miRNAs were indentified in pollens of high heat tolerant maize variety Zhengdan 958 and low heat tolerant maize variety Xianyu 335 under high temperature stress at flowering stage,their target genes were predicted,and the enrichment analysis of genetic characteristics and metabolic pathways of these target genes were conducted. The results showed that a total of 818 miRNA precursor sequences were identified. Nineteen significantly differentially expressed miRNA sequences were screened in the group of Zhengdan 958 pollen under high temperature stress compared with the control pollen under normal condition(HT958 vs CK958). Among them,15 miRNA sequences were up⁃regulated,4 miRNA sequences were down⁃regulated,and expression level difference of 3 miRNA sequences reached extremely significant level(
P<0.01).The predicted results of target genes of 19 differentially expressed miRNA sequences showed that a total of 503 gene transcripts were obtained,their enriched GO biological process terms included regulation of transcription,DNA⁃templated,microtubule⁃based process,hosphorylation,positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase Ⅱ ,methylation and so on,and the most significantly enriched KEGG pathways were glutathione metabolism,carbon metabolism,arachidonic acid metabolism lycolysis/gluconeogenesis,folate biosynthesis and so on. Fiveteen significantly differentially expressed miRNA sequences were identified in the group of Xianyu 335 pollen under high temperature stress compared with the control pollen(HT335 vs CK335). Among them,7 miRNA sequences were up⁃regulated,8 were down⁃regulated,and the expression level difference of 1 miRNA sequence reached highly significant level(
P<0.01).The predicted results of target genes of 15 differentially expressed miRNA sequences showed that a total of 454 gene transcripts were obtained,their enriched GO biological process terms included regulation of transcription,DNA⁃templated,phosphorylation,protein phosphorylation,proteolysis,DNA repair and so on,and the most significantly enriched KEGG pathways were other glycan degradation,linoleic acid metabolism,metabolic pathways,thiamine metabolism,protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and so on.Eighty⁃five significantly differentially expressed miRNA sequences were identified in the group of Zhengdan 958 pollen under high temperature stress compared with Xianyu 335 pollen under high temperature stress(HT985 vs HT335). Among them,35 miRNA sequences were up⁃regulated,50 were down⁃regulated,and expression level difference of 24 miRNA sequences reached extremely significant level(
P<0.01). The predicted results of target genes of 85 differentially expressed miRNA sequences showed that a total of 2 286 gene transcripts were obtained,their enriched GO biological process terms included regulation of transcription,DNA⁃templated,phosphorylation,protein phosphorylation,proteolysis,transmembrane transport and so on,the most significantly enriched KEGG pathways were sphingolipidmetabolism,starch and sucrose metabolism,other glycan degradation,metabolic pathways,cysteine and methionine metabolism and so on. Ninety⁃four significantly differentially expressed miRNA sequences were identified in the HT958 vs CK958 group compared with HT335 vs CK335 group. The predicted results of target genes of 94 differentially expressed miRNA sequences showed that a total of 4 569 gene transcripts were obtained.Among them,the expression level difference of 28 miRNA sequences showed extremely significant(
P<0.01),including PC⁃3p⁃10069_1143C⁃3p⁃18335_646,zma⁃miR164f⁃5p and so on. The enriched GO biological process terms of target genes of 94 differentially expressed miRNA sequences included regulation of transcription,DNA⁃templated,phosphorylation,protein phosphorylation,protein transport,proteolysis and so on,and the most significantly enriched KEGG pathways were protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum,ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes,spliceosome,sphingolipid metabolism,endocytosis and so on.
