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 …

Background Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are large groups of hydrophilic
proteins with major role in drought and other abiotic stresses tolerance in plants. In-depth …

Translation inhibition is a major but poorly understood mode of action of microRNAs
(miRNAs) in plants and animals. In particular, the subcellular location where this process …

Climate change, malnutrition, and food insecurity are the inevitable challenges being faced
by the agriculture sector today. Plants are susceptible to extreme temperatures during the …

Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form
leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression in plants
and animals. In plants, these∼ 21-nucleotide RNAs are processed from stem-loop regions …

Background The phytohormone auxin is critical for plant growth and orchestrates many
developmental processes.• Scope This review considers the complex array of mechanisms …

There are at least three RNA silencing pathways for silencing specific genes in plants. In
these pathways, silencing signals can be amplified and transmitted between cells, and may …

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are∼ 21-nucleotide RNAs, some of which have been shown
to play important gene-regulatory roles during plant development. We developed …
