MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression via
recognition of cognate sequences and interference of transcriptional, translational or …

Plant transcriptomes encompass a large number of functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs),
only some of which have protein-coding capacity. Since their initial discovery, ncRNAs have …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that function as diverse
endogenous gene regulators at the post-transcriptional level. In the past two decades, as …

Heavy metal toxicity is heavily damaging constraint to quality and productivity of crops these
days. Plants exposed to heavy metals (HMs) contaminated sites respond at cellular …

Motivation RNA interference, a highly conserved regulatory mechanism, is mediated via
small RNAs (sRNA). Recent technical advances enabled the analysis of larger, complex …

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) from the genus Meloidogyne induce the dedifferentiation of root
vascular cells into giant multinucleate feeding cells. These feeding cells result from an …

Background Autogamy in cultivated tomato varieties is a derived trait from wild type tomato
plants, which are mostly allogamous. However, environmental stresses can cause …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are short, non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in many important
biological pathways. They suppress the translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by …

MicroRNA (miRNA) is an important regulator of gene expression in plants that functions to
regulate plant development and growth. Signature sequences and secondary structures that …

High-throughput sequencing enables an unprecedented resolution in transcript
quantification, at the cost of magnifying the impact of technical noise. The consistent …
