Cold and drought stresses seriously affect cassava (Manihot esculenta) plant growth and
yield. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of diverse …

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in response to biotic and abiotic
stress through acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to decoy mature miRNAs …

RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism in plants that targets viruses. Viral small RNAs
(vsiRNAs) can be generated from viral double-stranded RNA replicative intermediates within …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a major fiber crop that is grown
worldwide; it faces extensive damage from sap-sucking insects, including aphids and …

As one of the largest plant-specific gene families, the NAC transcription factor gene family
plays important roles in various plant physiological processes that are related to plant …

Up to 90% of genomes is estimated to be transcribed in eukaryotes, but only 2% of
transcribed RNAs will code for proteins. The non-coding genome, also dubbed as the “dark …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a vital role in a variety of biological functions in plant
growth and development. In this study, we provided an overview of the molecular …

Although the regulatory function of miRNAs and their targets have been characterized in
model plants, a possible underlying role in the cotton response to herbivore infestation has …

It remains unclear whether plant lncRNAs are responsive to Ca2+-channel blocking. When
using the Ca2+-channel blocker, LaCl3, to treat germinated wheat seeds for 24 h, we found …

The NAC transcription factors (NACs) are among the largest plant-specific gene regulators
and play essential roles in the transcriptional regulation of both biotic and abiotic stress …
