What is Small RNA and Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals miRNA Regulation of Floral Thermogenesis in Nelumbo nucifera about?

The sacred lotus (__Nelumbo nucifera__ Gaertn.) can produce heat autonomously and maintain a relatively stable floral chamber temperature for several days when blooming. Floral thermogenesis is critical for flower organ development and reproductive success. However, the regulatory role of microRNA (miRNA) underlying floral thermogenesis in __N. nucifera__ remains unclear. To comprehensively understand the miRNA regulatory mechanism of thermogenesis, we performed small RNA sequencing and transcriptome sequencing on receptacles from five different developmental stages. In the present study, a total of 172 known miRNAs belonging to 39 miRNA families and 126 novel miRNAs were identified. Twenty-nine thermogenesis-related miRNAs and 3024 thermogenesis-related mRNAs were screened based on their expression patterns. Of those, seventeen differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and 1765 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) had higher expression during thermogenic stages. The upregulated genes in the thermogenic stages were mainly associated with mitochondrial function, oxidoreductase activity, and the energy metabolism process. Further analysis showed that miR156\_2, miR395a\_5, miR481d, and
