Comparative investigation of miRNAs in halophilic marine bacteria and barley plants

Micro ribosomal nucleic acids in marine halophilic bacteria and barley plants were studied in order to investigate the origin, evolution and possible stress responses to changes to external environmental conditions across the organic world kingdoms. The comparative phylogenetic analysis based on whole genome sequences showed a high level of relatedness (more than 50%) of micro ribosomal nucleic acids in environmental prokaryotic organisms and plants. Predicted myeloblastosis transcription factor was identified during salt stress exposure in barley, and could be a suitable salt tolerant candidate for the improvement of the growth of crops being cultivated in saline soils.
