Welcome to Tea miRNA Database (Tea-miR)


Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are novel class of non-coding RNAs in eukaryotic genome that regulate gene expressions. In this database,we have collected publicly available miRNAseq data of tea from NCBI and published research papers. This database is first and largest collection of the miRNAs in tea . There are 5070 miRNAs entries from publicly available miRNA data of tea. There are 3 types of tea genomes viz. Camellia sinensis ,Camellia assamica and Camellia sinensis var assamica.The enlisted miRNAs are known to regulate the highly sensitive Tea plant's responsiveness during biotic and abiotic stresses such as drought, cold, fungal diseases, geometrid attack etc. Additionally, few of the said miRNAs are also reported to play a crucial role in the regulation of the developmental processes and accumulation of flavonoids viz., sprout development and quality formation, apical bud-burst and catechin biosynthesis.
