Small RNAs are short non-coding RNAs with a length ranging between 20 and 24
nucleotides. Of these, microRNAs (miRNAs) play a distinct role in plant development …

Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

Correct developmental timing is essential for plant fitness and reproductive success. Two
important transitions in shoot development—the juvenile-to-adult vegetative transition and …

Grain size and shape are important components of grain yield and quality and have been
under selection since cereals were first domesticated. Here, we show that a quantitative trait …

Plants are sessile organisms that gauge stressful conditions to ensure survival and
reproductive success. While plants in nature often encounter chronic or recurring stressful …

While the role of proteins in determining cell identity has been extensively studied, the
contribution of small noncoding RNA molecules such as miRNAs and siRNAs has been also …

Small, non-coding RNAs are a distinct class of regulatory RNAs in plants and animals that
control a variety of biological processes. In plants, several classes of small RNAs with …

Increasing crop yield is a major challenge for modern agriculture. The development of new
plant types, which is known as ideal plant architecture (IPA), has been proposed as a means …

Flavonoids are synthesized through an important metabolic pathway that leads to the
production of diverse secondary metabolites, including anthocyanins, flavonols, flavones …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, endogenous RNAs of 21–25 nucleotides (nts) in
length. They play an important regulatory role in animals and plants by targeting specific …
