Current technologies have changed biology into a data-intensive field and significantly
increased our understanding of signal transduction pathways in plants. However, global …

Plant responses to different stresses are highly complex and involve changes at the
transcriptome, cellular, and physiological levels. Recent evidence shows that plants respond …

Small, non-coding RNAs are a distinct class of regulatory RNAs in plants and animals that
control a variety of biological processes. In plants, several classes of small RNAs with …

Abstract Background Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was initially recognized as a toxic reactive
oxygen species, able to cause damage to a variety of cellular structures. However, it became …

MicroRNAs (miRNA s) are indispensable regulators for development and defense in
eukaryotes. However, the miRNA species have not been explored for rice (Oryza sativa) …

MicroRNAs constitute a large group of endogenous small RNAs of~ 22 nt that emerge as
vital regulators, mainly by targeting mRNAs for post-transcriptional repression. Previous …

MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. A wealth of
observations and findings suggest highly complex, multicomponent, and intermingled …

Drought and salinity are two major environmental factors adversely affecting plant growth
and productivity. However, the regulatory mechanism is unknown. In this study, the potential …

Small RNAs have a variety of important roles in plant development, stress responses, and
other processes. They exert their influence by guiding mRNA cleavage, translational …

The most conspicuous function of plastids is the oxygenic photosynthesis of chloroplasts, yet
plastids are super-factories that produce a plethora of compounds that are indispensable for …
