MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20–24 nucleotide noncoding RNAs abundant in plants and
animals. The biogenesis of plant miRNAs involves transcription of miRNA genes, processing …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential non-coding riboregulators of gene expression in plants
and animals. In plants, miRNAs guide their effector protein named ARGONAUTE (AGO) to …

Unlike in metazoans, the stepwise biogenesis of microRNAs (miRNAs) in plants occurs
within the nucleus. Whether or how the major steps in miRNA biogenesis are coordinated is …

Posttranslational modifications add complexity and diversity to cellular proteomes. One of
the most prevalent modifications across eukaryotes is ubiquitination, which is orchestrated …

MicroRNAs are small RNAs, 20–22 nt long, the main role of which is to downregulate gene
expression at the level of mRNAs. MiRNAs are fundamental regulators of plant growth and …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are blue light receptors that mediate plant photoresponses through
regulating gene expressions. We recently reported that Arabidopsis CRY2 could form light …

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the resistance of plants to infection by
pathogens via interactions with microRNAs (miRNAs). Long non‐coding RNAs are cleaved …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in gene expression regulation through RNA
cleavage or translation repression. Here, we report the identification of an evolutionarily …

Lateral roots (LRs) increase root surface area and allow plants greater access to soil water
and nutrients. LR formation is tightly regulated by the phytohormone auxin. Whereas the …

Amylose content is a crucial physicochemical property responsible for the eating and
cooking quality of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain and is mainly controlled by the Waxy (Wx) …
