Abstract
The role of miRNAs and significance of their interaction with the mRNAs has been well established in a wide range of essential biological processes in plants. Many online databases are available for reporting the miRNAs and their target transcripts in a variety of plants. ARMOUR (ARice miRNA–mRNA interaction resource) presents a cohesive database for all analysis related to miRNAs and their predicted target mRNAs across 7 Indian rice cultivars in 38 different tissue or abiotic stress conditions. It covers profiles of 689 known and 1664 putative novel miRNAs. The information on miRNA profiles is supplemented by the sequence information of mature and hairpin structures. ARMOUR provides the flexibility to query the database in multiple ways using preset or custom text searches. It also facilitates searching for the target mRNAs, determining the gene ontology (enrichment and their associated biological pathways. The interactive user interface allows ARMOUR to serve as an integrated resource for investigation of miRNAs in rice and related plant species.
