Similarly, we found miR403 homologs in 16 plant species (Table 1); therefore miR403 is not a lowly conserved miRNA as classified by Zhang et al. [21].

Accordingly, miR395, miR399, miR403 and miR408 families were classified as lowly conserved [21].

Thus, the miR403 family is represented by at least three members in dicots.

In the present study, we found miR403 homologs in 16 dicotyledonous plants, including Populus, papaya, tomato, potato, sunflower, and Brassica spp (Table 1 and Figure 1A,B), but not in monocotyledonous plants.

With the exception of miR397 and miR403, our survey has identified the remaining 19 conserved miRNA families in legumes (Table 1 and see Additional file 1).

miR403 was initially identified in Arabidopsis and later found in Populus trichocorpa [4, 26, 28, 29].

The identification of miR403 in as many as 16 dicots provided large-scale authenticity for considering it a dicot-specific miRNA.

The families, miR162, miR390, miR397, miR403 and miR437 were found in 10–19 diverse plant species.

miR403 homologs were found in 16 dicots, whereas miR437 and miR444 homologs, as well as the miR396d/e variant of the miR396 family, were found only in monocots, thus providing large-scale authenticity for the dicot- and monocot-specific miRNAs.

The identification of miR403 homologs in other dicots revealed two new members of this miRNA family.

We also identified two new members belonging to miR319, miR398 and miR403 families and three new members belonging to miR169 (Table 1).

We found six families (miR159, miR160, miR167, miR170/171, miR396 and miR399) in 30–39 species; seven (miR164, miR168, miR172, miR393, miR395, miR398 and miR408) in 20–29 species; and five (miR162, miR390, miR397, miR403 and miR437) in 10–19 species (Table 1).

If this is the case, then other miRNAs in our data set with highly differentiated expression states, such as miR403a, miR403b, miR1535b, may also be processed by the noncanonical loop-to-base pathway.

Among the conserved miRNAs, miR403 (−1.73 log2 fold change) and miR397 (2.12 log2 fold change) were most differentially regulated families with higher than 100 RPTM in either control or water stress.

miR403, and miR828 had not been identified in any other species in fabales, but were present in plant species belonging to other eudicot orders.

miR828, miR403, miR2111, and miR482 were identified in core eudicots, and miR482 is likely restricted to the rosids.

Finally, three conserved miRNAs, first described in A. thaliana, were only found in G. max (miR403, miR828 and miR862) but not in the other legumes.
