MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate many biological processes through inactivation of specific
mRNA targets such as those encoding transcription factors. A delicate spatial/temporal …

Domestication converts perennial and photoperiodic ancestral cotton to day-neutral cotton
varieties, and the selection of short-season cotton varieties is one of the major objectives of …

In vitro regeneration of cotton seems to be highly genotype dependent and typically ensues
through the extraordinarily complex mechanism of somatic embryogenesis (SE). During the …

Background microRNAs (miRNAs) have been involved in regulation of diverse spectrum of
plant development processes in many species. In cotton, few miRNAs have been well …

Plant somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a multifactorial developmental process where embryos
that can develop into whole plants are produced from somatic cells rather than through the …

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are predominantly regulated at the transcriptional level by
sophisticated regulatory networks. In cotton, the role of miRNAs as key regulatory factors at …

Plants have developed intricate defense mechanisms in response to fluctuating
environmental cues, including the use of microRNA (miRNA) as post-transcriptional …

Cotton Verticillium wilt, caused by the notorious fungal phytopathogen Verticillium dahliae
(V. dahliae), is a destructive soil-borne vascular disease and severely decreases cotton …

An increasing number of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play crucial regulatory
roles in the process of plant development. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding~ 21 nucleotide RNAs that regulate gene
expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in plants and animals. They …
