Abstract:

Plant miR159 has been found to play a key role in a variety of physiological processes such as growth and development, metabolism, response to stress, and pathogen defense in plant by targeting MYB gene family. It has also been proved to have a cross-kingdom regulative role in mammalian physiological functions, such as inhibition of tumor growth, improvement of energy metabolism, anti-oxidative stress and regulation of immunity. This paper described the involvement of miR159 in regulation of nutritional growth, response to stress, flowering and fruit development in a variety of plants, and reviewed the cross-kingdom regulative role of exogenous plant miR159 in mammalian physiological functions and breast cancer, in hoping to provide references for the subsequent study on the regulative network and cross-kingdom regulative mechanism of plant miR159.

Key words: miR159, MYB family, cross-kingdom regulation, physiological functions
