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 …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small, non-coding RNAs that play important roles in
plant growth, development and stress response. There have been an increasing number of …

Background Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses and the main
constraint to rice agriculture. MicroRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene regulation is one …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are one class of endogenous non-coding RNAs modulating the
expression of target genes involved in plant development and stress tolerance, by …

Recent researches on long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have expanded our horizon of gene
regulation and the cellular complexity. However, the number, characteristics and expression …

Salinity is a major limiting factor for agricultural production worldwide. A better
understanding of the mechanisms of salinity stress response will aid efforts to improve plant …

Background Plants involved in highly complex and well-coordinated systems have evolved
a considerable degree of developmental plasticity, thus minimizing the damage caused by …

Abstract Background Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the major fibre crops of the world.
Although it is classified as salt tolerant crop, cotton growth and productivity are adversely …

Drought stress is a major obstacle to agricultural production. Tibetan wild barley with rich
genetic diversity is useful for drought-tolerant improvement of cereals. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous RNAs that play important
regulatory roles in development and stress response in plants by negatively affecting gene …
