Shrnutí:[Display omitted] •miRNAs are important regulators of gene expression in plants.•Plant miRNAs play a pivotal role in abiotic stress responses.•Using high-throughput sequencing plant stress-responsive conserved and novel miRNAs can be identified. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a distinct groups of single-stranded non-coding, tiny regulatory RNAs approximately 20–24 nucleotides in length. miRNAs negatively influence gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and have evolved considerably in the development of abiotic stress tolerance in a number of model plants and economically important crop species. The present review aims to deliver the information on miRNA-mediated regulation of the expression of major genes or Transcription Factors (TFs), as well as genetic and regulatory pathways. Also, the information on adaptive mechanisms involved in plant abiotic stress responses, prediction, and validation of targets, computational tools, and databases available for plant miRNAs, specifically focus on their exploration for engineering abiotic stress tolerance in plants. The regulatory function of miRNAs in plant growth, development, and abiotic stresses consider in this review, which uses high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies to generate large-scale libraries of small RNAs (sRNAs) for conventional screening of known and novel abiotic stress-responsive miRNAs adds complexity to regulatory networks in plants. The discoveries of miRNA-mediated tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses, including salinity, drought, cold, heat stress, nutritional deficiency, UV-radiation, oxidative stress, hypoxia, and heavy metal toxicity, are highlighted and discussed in this review.
