    Abstract Abstract Background Potyviridae is the largest plant infecting family under the monophyletic group Riboviria, infects many of the food, fodder and ornamental crops. Due to the higher mutation and recombination rate, potyvirids are evolving rapidly, adapting to the environmental chaos and expanding their hosts. Virus control measures are need to be updated as the economic importance of potyvirids is massive. microRNAs (miRNAs) are well known for their functional importance in eukaryotes and many viruses. Regardless of its biogenesis, whether canonical or noncanonical, microRNA centric antivirus approaches attract the researchers to the hopeful future of next-generation broad-spectrum antiviral measures. Methods In this study, we predicted and screened banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV) encoding miRNAs by computation approaches and their targets on banana transcriptome using plant small RNA target analysis server (psRNAtarget). The target gene functions were annotated by Blast2GO. The predicted BBrMV miRNAs were experimentally screened by stem-loop RT-PCR. Results The results showed that, among the predicted BBrMV miRNAs, miRNA2 is conserved throughout BBrMV isolates and has multiple virus-specific target transcripts. In addition, primary experimental validation for the predicted miRNAs revealed that miRNA2 exists in the BBrMV infected banana leaf samples. Conclusions The existence of BBrMV miRNA2 is confirmed by stem-loop RT-PCR followed by cloning and sequencing. The presence of miRNA of Potyviridae is rarely addressed and would definitely spread the hope to understand the virus infectious cycle. Our report would also help to better understand and manipulate potyviral infections.

    Abstract Potyviridae comprises more than 200 ssRNA viruses, many of which have a broad host range and geographical distributions. Potyvirids (members of Potyviridae) infect several economically important plants such as saffron, cardamom, cucumber, pepper, potato, tomato, yam, etc. Cumulatively, potyvirids cause a substantial economic loss. The major bottleneck in developing an efficient antiviral strategy is that viruses quickly evade host immunity owing to their higher mutation and recombination rates. Due to this reason, the emergence of newer and improved broad-spectrum approaches to combat viral infections is essential. The use of microRNA’s (miRNA) to circumvent viral infection against animal viruses has been successfully employed. Fewer studies reported the development of efficient miRNA-based antivirus resistant strategies against plant viruses and none focused on multiple virus resistance. We focused on potyviruses since studies are limited and identification of conserved miRNAs among various host plants would be an initiative to design broad-spectrum antivirus strategies. In this study, we predicted evolutionarily conserved miRNAs by BLAST searching of reported miRNAs from 15 plants against the GSS and EST sequences of banana. A total of nine miRNAs were predicted and screened in nine diverse potyvirids’ hosts (Banana, Tomato, Green gram, Jasmine, Chilli, Coriander, Onion, Rose and Colocasia) belonging to eight different orders (Zingiberales, Solanales, Fabales, Lamiales, Apiales, Asperagales, Rosales and Alismatales). Results suggested that miR168 and miR162 are conserved among all the selected plants. This comprehensive study laid the foundations to design broad-spectrum antivirus resistance using miRNAs. To conclude miR168 and miR162 are conserved among many plants and play a crucial role in evading virus infection which could be used as a potential candidate for developing antiviral strategies against potyvirid infections.
