Abstract
Plant small RNAs are important regulators of gene expression involved in epigenetic processes under abiotic and biotic stresses. To minimize the stress influence, specific changes in gene expression are induced that could be epigenetically (without changing DNA sequence) fixed and passed into off springs forming epigenetic memories. sRNAs are crucial regulators of endogenous gene expression at both transcriptional and post transcriptional levels. The use of high throughput sequencing techniques, bioinformatics and computational tools lead to identification and characterization of various stress associated sRNAs and their target genes in plants. This review focuses on various epigenetic processes involved stress response and the roles of various sRNAs involved in abiotic stress tolerance in plants.
