The brown planthopper (BPH) is the most serious pest causing yield losses in rice. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as key modulators of plant-pest interactions. In the study, we found that osa-miR162a is induced in response to BPH attack in the seedling stage and tunes rice resistance to the BPH via the α-linolenic acid metabolism pathway as indicated by gas chromatography/liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Overexpression of osa-miR162a inhibited the development and growth of the BPH and simultaneously reduced the release of 3-hexenal and 3-hexen-1-ol to block host recognition in the BPH. Moreover, knockdown of OsDCL1 , which is targeted by osa-miR162a, inhibited α-linolenic acid metabolism to enhance the resistance to the BPH, which was similar to that in miR162a-overexpressing plants. Our study revealed a novel defense mechanism mediated by plant miRNAs developed during the long-term evolution of plant-host interaction, provided new ideas for the identification of rice resistance resources, and promoted a better understanding of pest control.
