The discovery of widespread microRNAs (miRNAs) in animals encouraged the scientists to explore miRNAs and its corresponding roles in plants, which lead to the discovery of incredible physiological functions of these novel small entities in plant systems biology. This discovery made the study on functional analysis of plant miRNA as one of the hottest research topics, globally. The year 2012 was a remarkable year of fascinating miRNA research, where numerous reports deciphering the plant miRNAs right from its origin and evolution to its diverse functions were published. To-date the popular miRNA repository, miRBase, has about 5159 plant entries in its latest release 19 (Griffiths-Jones, pers. commun.).
