Heat stress is an important factor limiting plant growth, development, and productivity; thus,
plants have evolved special adaptive mechanisms to cope with high-temperature stress …

Unusual daily temperature fluctuations caused by climate change and climate variability
adversely impact agricultural crop production. Since plants are immobile and constantly …

Due to global climate change, temperature stress has become one of the primary causes of
crop losses worldwide. Much progress has been made in unraveling the complex stress …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that consist of 21–24 nucleotides.
They have been extensively investigated as critical regulators in a variety of biological …

Low temperature (LT) is an important factor limiting plant growth and distribution. Plants
have evolved sophisticated adaptive mechanisms to cope with hypothermia. RNA silencing …

Heat stress is a major abiotic stress that significantly affects plant growth and productivity.
Plants have, however, evolved complex adaptive mechanisms to cope with heat stress …

Eukaryotic genomes encode thousands of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which play crucial
roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Accumulating …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely present in different species and play critical
roles in response to abiotic stresses. However, the functions of lncRNAs in Chinese …

Abstract Key message Small RNAs have emerged as key players of gene expression
regulation. Several lines of evidences highlight their role in modulating high temperature …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of noncoding small RNAs (sRNAs) that are 20–
24 nucleotides (nt) in length. Extensive studies have indicated that miRNAs play versatile …
