摘要： Small RNAs (sRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that play roles in many biological processes, including drought responses in plants. However, how the expression of sRNAs dynamically changes with the gradual imposition of drought stress in plants is largely unknown. We generated time-series sRNA sequence data from maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings under drought stress (DS) and under well-watered (WW) conditions at the same time points. Analyses of length, functional annotation, and abundance of 736,372 nonredundant sRNAs from both DS and WW data, as well as genome copy numbers at the corresponding genomic regions, revealed distinct patterns of abundance and genome organization for different sRNA classes. The analysis identified 6646 sRNAs whose regulation was altered in response to drought stress. Among drought-responsive sRNAs, 1325 showed transient downregulation by the seventh day, coinciding with visible symptoms of drought stress. The profiles revealed drought-responsive microRNAs, as well as other sRNAs that originated from ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), splicing small nuclear RNAs, and small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA). Expression profiles of their sRNA derivers indicated that snoRNAs might play a regulatory role through regulating the stability of rRNAs and splicing small nuclear RNAs under drought condition.
