SUMMARY RCF1 is a highly conserved DEAD‐box RNA helicase found in yeast, plants,
and mammals. Studies about the functions of RCF1 in plants are limited. Here, we …

After double fertilization, zygotic embryogenesis initiates a new life cycle, and stem cell
homeostasis in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and root apical meristem (RAM) allows …

The processing of Arabidopsis thaliana microRNAs (miRNAs) from longer primary
transcripts (pri-miRNAs) requires the activity of several proteins, including DICER-LIKE1 …

Pre-mRNA splicing is a critical process in gene expression in eukaryotic cells. A multitude of
proteins are known to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing in plants; however, the …

Lariat RNAs formed as by-products of splicing are quickly degraded by the RNA
debranching enzyme 1 (DBR1), leading to their turnover. Null dbr1 mutants in both animals …

The intron-lariat spliceosome (ILS) complex is highly conserved among eukaryotes, and its
disassembly marks the end of a canonical splicing cycle. In this study, we show that two …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in plant growth and development, and as such,
their biogenesis is fine-tuned via regulation of the core microprocessor components. Here …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in regulating gene expression and their biogenesis is
precisely controlled through modulating the activity of microprocessor. Here, we report that …

ABSTRACT RNA helicases participate in nearly all aspects of RNA metabolism by
rearranging RNAs or RNA–protein complexes in an adenosine triphosphate‐dependent …

MicroRNAs are a class of small regulatory RNAs that are generated from primary miRNA (pri-
miRNA) transcripts with a stem-loop structure. Accuracy of the processing of pri-miRNA into …
