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 …

Abiotic and biotic stresses limit the growth and productivity of plants. In the current global
scenario, in order to meet the requirements of the ever-increasing world population …

Evolutionary success in plants is largely dependent on the successful transition from
vegetative to reproductive growth. In the lifetime of a plant, flowering is not only an essential …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of endogenous, small RNA molecules that sit
at the heart of regulating gene expression in multiple developmental and signalling …

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 …

Young organisms have relatively strong resistance to diseases and adverse conditions.
When confronted with adversity, the process of development is delayed in plants. This …

The switch from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, ie flowering, is the critical event in
a plant's life. Flowering is regulated either autonomously or by environmental factors; …

Inferring phenotypic outcomes from genomic features is both a promise and challenge for
systems biology. Using gene expression data to predict phenotypic outcomes, and …

During the course of their life cycles, plants undergo various morphological and
physiological changes underlying juvenile-to-adult and adult-to-flowering phase transitions …

The recent rapid climate changes and increasing global population have led to an increased
incidence of abiotic stress and decreased crop productivity. Environmental stresses, such as …
