MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20–24 nucleotide noncoding RNAs abundant in plants and
animals. The biogenesis of plant miRNAs involves transcription of miRNA genes, processing …

Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of
soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of …

Processing of double‐stranded RNA precursors into small RNA s is an essential regulator of
gene expression in plant development and stress response. Small RNA processing requires …

Noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), small interference RNAs (siRNAs),
circular RNA (circRNA), and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), control gene expression at …

Legume crops contribute a great portion of clean nitrogen (N) to agro‐ecosystems through
symbiotic N2 fixation in the nodule; however, the nodulation is always inhibited by high N …

Root nodules formed by plants of the nitrogen-fixing clade (NFC) are symbiotic organs that
function in the maintenance and metabolic integration of large populations of nitrogen-fixing …

Current worldwide agriculture requires huge amounts of chemicals for increasing yields, and
this situation will be dramatically degraded by the increasing world population (Velivelliet al …

Phytochrome B (phyB) enables plants to modify shoot branching or tillering in response to
varying light intensities and ratios of red and far-red light caused by shading and neighbor …

Auxins play important roles in the nodulation of legumes. However, the mechanism by which
auxin signaling regulates root nodulation is largely unknown. In particular, the role of auxin …

The symbiosis between α nitrogen (N 2)-fixing Proteobacteria (family Rhizobiaceae) and
legumes belonging to the Fabaceae (a single phylogenetic group comprising three …
