Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs regulating of genes involved in
major physiological processes including growth, development, and responses to biotic and …

Heavy metal stress is a major growth-and yield-limiting factor for plants. Heavy metals
include essential metals (copper, iron, zinc, and manganese) and non-essential metals …

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-to 24-nucleotide small noncoding RNAs that regulate
gene expression in eukaryotic organisms. Several plant miRNAs, such as miR166, have …

Cadmium (Cd) is a severely toxic heavy metal and environmental pollutant. Tall fescue is a
cold season turf grass which has high resistance to Cd as well as the ability to enrich it. To …

Grapevine is among the fruit crops with high economic value, and because of the economic
losses caused by abiotic stresses, the stress resistance of Vitis vinifera has become an …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in plant reproduction. However, knowledge on
microRNAome analysis in autotetraploid rice is rather limited. Here, high-throughput …

Background The migration of cadmium (Cd) from contaminated soil to rice is a cause for
concern. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the response of rice roots to …

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a very important reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging
enzyme. In this study, the functions of a Cu/Zn SOD gene (SaCu/Zn SOD), from Sedum …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a serious threat to plant growth and human health. Although the
mechanisms controlling the Cd response have been elucidated in other species, they …

Sedum plumbizincicola, a cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulating herbaceous plant, can
accumulate large amounts of Cd in the above-ground tissues without being poisoned …
