摘 要:MicroRNA1511(miR1511) is a small RNA with unknown function identified in several plants by deep *** this study,we showed that this small RNA is an authentic miRNA by analyzing the structure of the precursor stem-loop containing the newly identified miR1511 * *** confirmed this result by Northern blotting *** used 5’RACE to identify one of the target genes(GmRPL4a) cleaved by both miR1511 and miR1511 *.The site cleaved by miR1511 * was located in the first exon of GmRPL4a,and the site cleaved by miR1511 was located in the second *** expression level of miR1511/1511 * was higher in leaves than in roots and *** contrast,the lowest level of GmRPL4a expression was in the leaves and the highest in the *** results indicate that an miRNA can co-regulate with an miRNA * to cleave the same target gene in plants,and that the level of GmRPL4a mRNA is regulated by miR1511/1511 *.
