MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs found in diverse eukaryotic lineages. In
plants, a minority of annotated MIRNA gene families are conserved between plant families …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key posttranscriptional regulators of eukaryotic gene expression.
Plants use highly conserved as well as more recently evolved, species-specific miRNAs to …

A key question in developmental biology is how cells exchange positional information for
proper patterning during organ development. In plant roots the radial tissue organization is …

Plants adapt to different environmental conditions by constantly forming new organs in
response to morphogenetic signals. Lateral roots branch from the main root in response to …

Despite the central importance of noncoding DNA to gene regulation and evolution,
understanding of the extent of selection on plant noncoding DNA remains limited compared …

Many targets of plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are thought to play important roles in plant
physiology and development. However, because plant miRNAs are typically encoded by …

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are embedded in regulatory networks that coordinate different
gene expression programs in support of developmental plasticity. Modification of miRNA …

The shoot apical meristem of angiosperm plants generates leaf, stem and floral structures
throughout the plant's lifetime. To do this, the plant must maintain a population of stem cells …

Epidermis differentiation and maintenance are essential for plant survival. Constant cross‐
talk between epidermal cells and their immediate environment is at the heart of epidermal …

MicroRNAs and trans-acting siRNAs (ta-siRNAs) have important regulatory roles in
development. Unlike other developmentally important regulatory molecules, small RNAs are …
