MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in plant growth, development, and response to biotic and
abiotic stresses. Most of the miRNAs that have been identified in model plants are well …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs (20–25 nucleotides) that regulate gene
expression posttranscriptionally. However, identification and characterization of miRNAs …

Background To fully elucidate the roles and mechanisms of plant hormones in leaf
senescence, we adopted an integrated analysis of both non-senescing and senescing …

Seed aging is a major challenge for food security, agronomic production, and germplasm
conservation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methylglyoxal (MG) are highly …

Background Low temperature is one of the main environmental factors that limits crop
growth, development, and production. Medicago falcata is an important leguminous herb …

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), as important regulators, play
important roles in plant growth and development. The expression and epigenetic regulation …

Effective ecological restoration of abandoned agricultural fields, especially highly degraded
ecosystems, remains challenge. Germination is imperative to restore natural ecosystems …

In maize (Zea mays), leaf senescence acts as a nutrient recycling process involved in
proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids degradation and transport to the developing sink …

Grain production of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a top priority in ensuring food security for human
beings. One of the approaches to increase yield is to delay leaf senescence and to extend …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a diverse class of regulatory loci with roles in
development and stress responses throughout all kingdoms of life. LncRNAs, however …
