This beast is a native of Paeonia and has a neck with a mane like a horse.

The Western are Paeonia, Thrace, Asia Minor, Armenia, Iberia, Syria and Phoenicia, Palestine, Egypt, and the Cyrenaica.

Some of the new identified potential miRNAs might be involved in Paeonia ostii-specific regulating mechanisms under copper stress.

These results provide a framework for further analysis of miRNAs and their role in regulating Paeonia ostii response to copper stress.

Although plant miRNAs have been extensively studied in model systems, less is known in other plants with limited genome sequence data, including Paeonia ostii.
