“…Generally, it consists of reactions involving light, water, and carbon dioxide that produce glucose and oxygen [ 153 ]. There has only been a limited amount of validation to prove the involvement of miRNA in the regulation of photosynthesis; however, a wide range of bioinformatic or computational techniques showed the potential of miRNA in regulating photosynthesis [ 154 ]. Studies have been performed in rice on its tolerance to low light and its photosynthesis.…”

The application of miRNA mimic technology for silencing mature miRNA began in 2007. This technique originated from the discovery of the INDUCED BY PHOSPHATE STARVATION 1 (IPS1) gene, which was found to be a competitive mimic that prevents the cleavage of the targeted mRNA by miRNA inhibition at the post-transcriptional level. To date, various studies have been conducted to understand the molecular mimic mechanism and to improve the efficiency of this technology. As a result, several mimic tools have been developed: target mimicry (TM), short tandem target mimic (STTM), and molecular sponges (SPs). STTM is the most-developed tool due to its stability and effectiveness in decoying miRNA. This review discusses the application of STTM technology on the loss-of-function studies of miRNA and members from diverse plant species. A modified STTM approach for studying the function of miRNA with spatial–temporal expression under the control of specific promoters is further explored. STTM technology will enhance our understanding of the miRNA activity in plant-tissue-specific development and stress responses for applications in improving plant traits via miRNA regulation.
