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

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 …

Phased secondary small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) constitute a major category of small
RNAs in plants, but most of their functions are still poorly defined. Some phasiRNAs, known …

Plant spermatogenesis is a complex process that directly affects crop breeding. A rapid
change in gene abundance occurs at early meiosis prophase, when gene regulation is …

Reproduction-specific small RNAs are vital regulators of germline development in animals
and plants. MicroRNA2118 (miR2118) is conserved in plants and induces the production of …

The spatiotemporal development of somatic tissues of the anther lobe is necessary for
successful fertile pollen production. This process is mediated by many transcription factors …

In higher plants, male meiosis is a key process during microsporogenesis and is crucial for
male fertility and seed set. Meiosis involves a highly dynamic organization of chromosomes …

Plant transcriptomes encompass a large number of functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs),
only some of which have protein-coding capacity. Since their initial discovery, ncRNAs have …

Temperature-sensitive male sterility is one of the core components for hybrid rice (Oryza
sativa) breeding based on the 2-line system. We previously found that knockout of …

Plant transcriptome encompasses numerous endogenous, regulatory non-coding RNAs
(ncRNAs) that play a major biological role in regulating key physiological mechanisms …
