MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a distinct groups of single-stranded non-coding, tiny regulatory
RNAs approximately 20–24 nucleotides in length. miRNAs negatively influence gene …

High-stress resistance and yield are major goals in crop cultivation, which can be addressed
by modifying plant architecture. Significant progress has been made in recent years to …

Cytosine and adenine base editors (CBEs and ABEs) are promising new tools for achieving
the precise genetic changes required for disease treatment and trait improvement. However …

MicroRNAs play key roles in abiotic stress response. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) miR1320 is a
species-specific miRNA that contributes to miR168-regulated immunity. However, it is still …

Photosynthesis is crucial for sustaining life on this planet and necessary for plant growth and
development. Abiotic stresses such as high and low temperatures, and excess, or deficit of …

Copper is a critical regulator of plant growth and development. However, the mechanisms by
which copper responds to virus invasion are unclear. We previously showed that SPL9 …

Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis is a robust approach for genetic dissection of complex
quantitative traits. Rice varieties adapted to non-flooded cultivation are highly desirable in …

MicroRNA408 (miR408) is an ancient and highly conserved miRNA, which is involved in the
regulation of plant growth, development and stress response. However, previous research …

CRISPR‐Cas9 is an emerging genome editing tool for reverse genetics in plants. However,
its application for functional study of non‐coding RNAs in plants is still at its infancy. Despite …

The ability of a plant to produce grain, fruit, or forage depends ultimately on photosynthesis.
There have been few attempts, however, to study microRNAs, which are a class of …
