| dc.description.abstract | Food security and scarcity are one of the major challenges and main issues of the world. However, agriculture augmentation promotes plant stress via biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant pathogen is imposing serious biotic stresses which impacts severe crop losses including growth, plant yield, and productivity. Globally, 16% of yield is affected due to pathogen stress. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a well-characterized group of endogenously produced small interfering RNAs known for regulating their complementary both at the transcriptional and post-translational levels. The roles of miRNAs have been deciphered for their implication in a variety of responses such as immunity, disease resistance, physiology, and development by modulating several molecular and phytohormonal crosstalks during plant-pathogen interactions. Besides miRNAs encoded by the plants, pathogens also modulate host genes by encoding miRNAs to manipulate plant cells and facilitate the entry and hijacking of the plant cell. In this chapter, we summarize the advancement in the area of plant miRNAs, their roles, and the regulation of their respective targets under biotic stresses induced via plant-pathogenic interactions. Here, we also documented the role of plant miRNAs in immunity and disease resistance. The current chapter will provide the advancement in the area of miRNAs mediated gene regulation/silencing during plant-pathogen interactions along with novel techniques such as CRISPR/Cas, target mimic, and resistant target that will help us in the generation of pathogen-resistant crops which could provide immunity against pathogens. � 2025 selection and editorial matter, Peerzada Yasir Yousuf, Peerzada Arshid Shabir, and Khalid Rehman Hakeem; individual chapters, the contributors. | |
