Abstract

The ageing of seeds is a process that leads to irreversible changes that cause the loss of seed value over time. Many interrelated molecular, biochemical, physiological and metabolic processes are involved in it. The degradation of the natural environment requires intensive plant species protection. Preserving germination capacity plays a key role in protecting the biodiversity damaged by genetic erosion. The studies conducted so far show that miRNAs are involved in the dynamic germination process of seeds. However, little is known about the state of specific miRNA regulations and their targets. These, are potentially important factors contributing to the ageing of seeds during long-term storage.
This review includes literature review of research concerning the role of miRNA in the regulation of processes leading to seed ageing and germination.
