Plant cells accumulate small RNA molecules that regulate plant development, genome
stability, and environmental responses. These small RNAs fall into three major classes …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20–24 nucleotide noncoding RNAs abundant in plants and
animals. The biogenesis of plant miRNAs involves transcription of miRNA genes, processing …

Plant regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs), which include most microRNAs (miRNAs) and a
subset of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), such as the phased siRNAs (phasiRNAs), play …

Taxon-specific small RNA loci are widespread in eukaryotic genomes, yet their role in
lineage-specific adaptation, phenotypic diversification, and speciation is poorly understood …

A large and significant portion of eukaryotic transcriptomes consists of noncoding RNAs
(ncRNAs) that have minimal or no protein-coding capacity but are functional. Diverse …

Recurrent heat stress and pathogen invasion seriously threaten crop production, and abiotic
stress often antagonizes biotic stress response against pathogens. However, the molecular …

Micro RNA s (mi RNA s) are small non‐coding RNA s, of typically 20–24 nt, that regulate
gene expression post‐transcriptionally through sequence complementarity. Since the …

Plant genomes encode various small RNAs that function in distinct, yet overlapping, genetic
and epigenetic silencing pathways. However, the abundance and diversity of small-RNA …

Eukaryotic small RNAs (sRNAs) are short non-coding regulatory molecules that induce RNA
interference (RNAi). During microbial infection, host RNAi machinery is highly regulated and …

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are∼ 21-nucleotide-long regulatory RNAs that arise from
endonucleolytic processing of hairpin precursors. Many function as essential …
