MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small, non-coding RNAs with the main roles of
regulating mRNA through its degradation and adjusting protein levels. In recent years …

The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Plants are exposed to a variety of abiotic stresses; these stresses have profound effects on
