The present invention provides molecular constructs and methods for use thereof, including constructs including heterologous miRNA recognition sites, constructs for gene suppression including a gene suppression element embedded within an intron flanked on one or on both sides by non-protein-coding sequence, constructs containing engineered miRNA or miRNA precursors, and constructs for suppression of production of mature microRNA in a cell. Also provided are transgenic plant cells, plants, and seeds containing such constructs, and methods for their use. The invention further provides transgenic plant cells, plants, and seeds containing recombinant DNA for the ligand-controlled expression of a target sequence, which may be endogenous or exogenous. Also disclosed are novel miRNAs and miRNA precursors from crop plants including maize and soy.

1. A recombinant DNA construct comprising a transcribable engineered miRNA precursor derived from a native miRNA precursor sequence of SEQ ID NO. 9, wherein one or more nucleotides at positions 676-697 of SEQ ID NO. 9 are replaced with nucleotides complementary to a portion of a target sequence; and
1. A recombinant DNA construct comprising a transcribable engineered miRNA precursor derived from a native miRNA precursor sequence of SEQ ID NO. 9, wherein one or more nucleotides at positions 676-697 of SEQ ID NO. 9 are replaced with nucleotides complementary to a portion of a target sequence; and wherein the position and number of mismatches in the stem portion of the fold-back structure of the native miRNA precursor is maintained by altering, as needed, one or more nucleotides at positions 494-514 of SEQ ID NO. 9 and wherein nucleotides other than those at positions 676-697 or 494-514 of SEQ ID NO. 9 are identical to the corresponding nucleotides of the native miRNA precursor sequence. 2. A method to suppress expression of a target sequence in a plant cell, comprising transcribing in a plant cell the recombinant DNA construct of claim 1, whereby expression of said target sequence is suppressed relative to its expression in the absence of transcription of said recombinant DNA construct. 3. A transgenic seed having in its genome the recombinant DNA construct of claim 1. 4. A transgenic plant grown from the transgenic seed of claim 3. 5. The transgenic seed of claim 3, wherein said transgenic seed has modified primary metabolite, trace element, carotenoid, vitamin, or secondary metabolite composition, or improved storage or processing quality. 6. The transgenic plant of claim 4, wherein said transgenic plant has at least one altered trait, relative to a plant lacking said recombinant DNA construct, selected from the group of traits consisting of: (a) improved abiotic stress tolerance;(b) improved biotic stress tolerance;(c) improved resistance to a pest or pathogen of said plant;(d) modified primary metabolite composition;(e) modified secondary metabolite compositions;(f) modified trace element, carotenoid, or vitamin composition;(g) improved yield;(h) improved ability to use nitrogen or other nutrients;(i) modified agronomic characteristics;(j) modified growth or reproductive characteristics; and(k) improved harvest, storage, or processing quality. 7. A transgenic plant cell having in its genome the recombinant DNA construct of claim 1. 8. The transgenic plant cell of claim 7, wherein said recombinant DNA construct further comprises a gene expression element for expressing at least one gene of interest. 9. A regenerated transgenic plant or seed prepared from the transgenic plant cell of claim 7, wherein the regenerated transgenic plant or seed comprises the recombinant DNA construct. 10. A method of providing at least one altered plant tissue, comprising: (a) providing a regenerated transgenic plant prepared from a transgenic plant cell of claim 7, or a transgenic progeny plant of said regenerated plant; and(b) transcribing said recombinant DNA construct in at least one tissue of said transgenic plant, whereby an altered trait in said at least one tissue results, relative to tissue wherein said recombinant DNA construct is not transcribed, said altered trait being selected from: (i) improved abiotic stress tolerance;(ii) improved biotic stress tolerance;(iii) improved resistance to a pest or pathogen of said plant;(iv) modified primary metabolite composition;(v) modified secondary metabolite composition;(vi) modified trace element, carotenoid, or vitamin composition;(vii) improved yield;(viii) improved ability to use nitrogen or other nutrients;(ix) modified agronomic characteristics;(x) modified growth or reproductive characteristics; and(xi) improved harvest, storage, or processing quality. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said transgenic plant is a transgenic crop plant. 12. The recombinant DNA construct of claim 1, wherein said target sequence is an endogenous plant gene, or a transgene in a plant, or an endogenous gene of a pest or pathogen of a plant. 13. The transgenic plant cell of claim 7, wherein said target sequence is an endogenous plant gene, or a transgene in a plant, or an endogenous gene of a pest or pathogen of a plant. 14. The recombinant DNA construct of claim 1, wherein the recombinant DNA construct produces a 22-nucleotide miRNA.
