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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of newly discovered endogenous small RNAs,
which negatively regulate gene expression at the post‐transcription levels. As the …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of growth and development in both
plants and animals. Flowering is critical for the reproduction of angiosperms. Flower …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) have been recently recognized as key genetic and epigenetic
regulators in various organisms, ranging from the modification of DNA and histone …

Nitrogen is the key limiting nutrient required for plant growth. The application of nitrogen-
based fertilizers to crops has risen dramatically in recent years, resulting in significant yield …

Phosphorus is one of the major factors controlling plant growth and productivity. Although
physiological and molecular processes of P deficiency have been intensively investigated …

Jatropha curcas is a promising feedstock for biofuel production because its oil is highly
suitable for processing bio-jet fuels and biodiesel. However, Jatropha exhibits a long …

Controlled stability of proteins is a highly efficient mechanism to direct diverse processes in
living cells. A key regulatory system for protein stability is given by the ubiquitin proteasome …

Plant small RNAs (smRNAs) are short, non-coding RNA molecules that mediate RNA
silencing and regulate a group of genes involved in plant development and responses to …

In plant, a few 22‐nt mi RNA s direct cleavages of their targets and trigger the biogenesis of
phased small interfering RNA s (phasi RNA s) in plant. In this study, we characterized a mi …
