All other data generated during this study are included in this published article and its Supplementary Information files.Sulfate availability critically influences plant growth, yet the role of small RNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), in regulating responses to sulfate deficiency remains poorly understood. Here, we conducted a temporal analysis of sulfate deficiency-responsive miRNAs in the roots and leaves of Solanum lycopersicum (tomato), using an updated miRNA annotation in the SL4.0 genome. We found 40 differentially expressed miRNAs, including 2 novel, tomato-specific miRNAs. Tomato miRNAs showed an important time- and organ-specific regulation, similar to the described response of the mRNA transcriptome. Integration with transcriptomic data and Degradome-seq analysis highlighted both canonical and non-canonical targets for sulfate-responsive miRNAs. miR395, the most extensively studied miRNA, was found to control not only its conserved targets involved in sulfate transport and assimilation, but also genes involved in redox homeostasis, photosynthesis and chloride transport. Notably, most targets were repressed in leaves, suggesting miRNA-mediated downregulation of energy-intensive processes, while root targets were predominantly upregulated, including genes related to protein remodeling and antioxidant defense. Comparative analysis with Arabidopsis thaliana revealed a broader functional repertoire in tomato, suggesting species-specific adaptations to sulfate deficiency. Overall, our results underscore the critical role of miRNAs in fine-tuning organ-specific metabolic reprogramming during nutrient stress, expanding the current understanding of the regulatory landscape underlying sulfate deficiency in plants.This research was funded by the Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo (ANID)-Millennium Science Initiative, Millennium Institute for Integrative Biology—iBio, grant number ICN17_022 to N.R.J., C.O.-Y., J.C., and E.A.V.; the ANID-Millennium Nucleus in Data Science for Plant Resilience—Phytolearning, grant number NCN2024_047 to E.A.V.; the ANID-Fondo Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica (FONDECYT), grant numbers 1211130 and 1250631 to E.A.V., 3210312 to M.T., 11240968 to C.O.-Y., and 1230833 to J.C.; the ANID-Vinculación Internacional, grant number FOVI230159 to J.M., J.C., and E.A.V.; the ANID-Anillo, grant number ACT210007 to E.A.V.; the ANID-Beca de Doctorado Nacional, grant numbers 21230478 to J.D.F. and 21230939 to D.L.-S.; and the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MCIN) and the Agencia Estatal de Investigación, grant number PID2020-114165RRC21 to J.M.
