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

Plant genomes encode various small RNAs that function in distinct, yet overlapping, genetic
and epigenetic silencing pathways. However, the abundance and diversity of small-RNA …

Micro RNA s (mi RNA s) are small non‐coding RNA s, of typically 20–24 nt, that regulate
gene expression post‐transcriptionally through sequence complementarity. Since the …

MicroRNA (miRNA) production entails the step-wise processing of primary miRNAs (pri-
miRNAs) into precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) and miRNA/* duplexes by Dicing complexes …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate plant homeostasis through the inactivation of specific
mRNAs, especially those encoding transcription factors. A delicate spatial/temporal balance …

Protein synthesis is a fundamental process in gene expression that depends upon the
abundance and accessibility of the mRNA transcript as well as the activity of many protein …

For many years we have studied the processes involved in producing miRNAs in plants and
the numerous differences from their metazoan counterpart. A well-defined catalytic process …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the METTL3 homolog, mRNA adenosine methylase (MTA)
introduces N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) into various coding and noncoding RNAs of the …

Drought and heat tolerance are complex quantitative traits. Moreover, the adaptive
significance of some stress-related traits is more related to plant survival than to agronomic …

Chromatin remodelling factors (CHRs) typically function to alter chromatin structure. CHRs
also reside in ribonucleoprotein complexes, but little is known about their RNA-related …
