Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are widely involved in plant morphogenesis and play an important role, especially in economic crop production. To elucidate the important role of miRNAs in the morphogenesis of plant reproductive organs, the current study evaluated the main miRNA types and their functions that regulate the morphogenesis of plant leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds. This study also introduced the typical cases of molecular reprogramming of miRNAs through the long-distance transfer of grafting position to regulate the economic traits of grafting hybrids, providing a scientific basis for the formation mechanism and molecular design breeding of important traits, for example, the economic yield of crops regulated by miRNA epigenetic modification
