As a non-coding and endogenous small RNA, MicroRNA (miRNA) takes a vital regulatory role in plant growth and development. Long-term storage and processing of many fruits and vegetables, including Luffa , are subject to influences from browning, a common post-harvest problem that adversely affects fl...
