Among computationally predicted and experimentally validated plant miRNAs, several are conserved across species boundaries in the plant kingdom. In this study, a combined experimental-in silico approach was adopted for characterization of two conserved miRNAs, miR166 and miR171, from black pepper (Piper nigrum). A PCR-based detection and cloning strategy of miRNAs from tissues of black pepper was used. Conservation analysis of miR166 and miR171 along with their corresponding targets identified from P. nigrum revealed that these miRNAs are highly conserved with their counterparts in other plant species. miRNA-mediated cleavage of the conserved targets was also verified by RLM-RACE experiments. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed the differential expression patterns of these miRNAs in black pepper tissues. Our miRNA-based phylogenetic analysis of plants belonging to the Piperaceae family was in agreement with the typical paleoherb evolutionary scheme of primitive angiosperms. This method will help in the detection of evolutionarily conserved miRNAs in other plant species and provide a strategy for a novel phylogenetic reconstruction based on the evolutionary history of miRNA genes.
