Salinity is a major abiotic stress limiting growth and productivity of plants in many areas of
the world due to increasing use of poor quality of water for irrigation and soil salinization …

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 …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is an important forage crop that is often grown in areas that
frequently experience drought and water shortage. MicroRNA156 (miR156) is an emerging …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that have recently emerged as
important regulators of gene expression, mainly through cleavage and/or translation …

Drought is a normal and recurring climate feature in most parts of the world and plays a
major role in limiting crop productivity. However, plants have their own defence systems to …

Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors adversely affecting plant growth
and productivity. However, the regulatory mechanism is unknown. In this study, the potential …

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

Core Ideas Dedicated bioenergy crops can enhance ecosystem services in marginal lands.
Ecosystem services vary with the type of marginal land. More field data are needed about …

Drought stress has adverse impacts on plant production and productivity. Micro RNA s (mi
RNA s) are one class of noncoding RNA s regulating gene expression post‐transcriptionally …

Drought is a major constraint to crop production, and micro RNA s (mi RNA s) play an
important role in plant drought tolerance. Analysis of mi RNA s and other classes of small …
