Plants must reprogram gene expression to adapt constantly changing environmental
temperatures. With the increased occurrence of extremely low temperatures, the negative …

Key message Drought stress response studies and overexpression of vun-miR408 proved it
to be essential for abiotic stress tolerance in cowpea. Abstract Small RNA and transcriptome …

Abiotic stress is one of the major factors responsible for huge yield loss in crop plants.
MicroRNAs play a key role in adaptive responses of plants under abiotic stress conditions …

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 …

Sugar beet is an important sugar-yielding crop with some tolerance to salt, but the
mechanistic basis of this tolerance is not known. In the present study, we have used whole …

Since their discovery more than two decades ago, animal long noncoding RNA s (lnc RNA
s) have emerged as important regulators of many biological processes. Recently, a large …

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are recognized as key regulatory molecules in many biological
processes. Accumulating evidence indicates that ncRNA-related mechanisms play important …

Saline-alkali soil is a major environmental problem affecting crop productivity. One of the
most effective approaches to combat it is to breed stress-tolerant plants through genetic …

The increasing demand for food is the result of an increasing population. It is crucial to
enhance crop yield for sustainable production. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have gained …

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play a vital role
in several gene regulatory networks involved in the various biological processes in plants …
