Identification and characterization of Csa-miR159s and their expression patterns under different abiotic stresses in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
The miR159 gene family plays an essential role in plant growth and development, and stress response.Nevertheless, there are no reports defining its specific function in cucumber fruit expansion and response to abiotic stresses.In this study, we retrieved six Csa-miR159 sequences from the EnsemblPlants database, which were located on chromosome 1, c
