Abstract
Gall oak (Quercus infectoria) is one of the extraordinary tree species with functional medicinal properties within the oak family. Various studies have confirmed the presence of numerous secondary metabolites with therapeutic properties in this plant. Despite the significance of gall oak, its genetic structure remains elusive. Therefore, unraveling the genetic structure of gall ok may provide valuable insights into its potential applications across diverse industries. MicroRNAs emerge as pivotal genetic elements implicated in the biosynthesis of crucial metabolites across a wide range of different plant species. Despite the significant role of miRNAs in plants, as of yet, no miRNAs have been reported in Q. infectoria. To this end, in the present study, after assembling the transcriptome of Q. infectoria, conserved microRNAs were identified.
