In silico analysis of OSA-miR164 gene family in rice (Oryza Sativa)

The results show high conserve in mature osa-miR164 sequences but not in the precursor sequences, different expression patterns of osa-miR164 gene members under stress conditions and various cis-regulatory elements present in osa-miR164 gene promoters, which might explain the diverse expression patterns of osa-miR164 genes. Some potential target genes of osa-miR164 were identified and their expressions under different stress conditions were analyzed.
