Small RNAs are short non-coding RNAs with a length ranging between 20 and 24
nucleotides. Of these, microRNAs (miRNAs) play a distinct role in plant development …

Fluctuations in environmental conditions greatly influence life on earth. Plants, as sessile
organisms, have developed molecular mechanisms to adapt their development to changes …

Nearly 200 plant genomes have been sequenced over the last two years, and new functions
of plant microRNAs (miRNAs) have been revealed. Therefore, timely update of the plant …

Plant growth and development are greatly affected by the environment. Many genes have
been identified to be involved in regulating plant development and adaption of abiotic stress …

Gene editing using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-
associated proteins (CRISPR/Cas) has revolutionized biotechnology and provides genetic …

During vegetative growth plants pass from a juvenile to an adult phase causing changes in
shoot morphology. This vegetative phase change is primarily regulated by the opposite …

Plants undergo extended morphogenesis. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) allows for
reiterative development and the formation of new structures throughout the life of the plant …

MiRNAs are important posttranscriptional regulators of plant development. Many miRNAs,
such as the conserved miR164 species, are encoded by families of MIRNA genes, but the …

Hulled grains, while providing natural protection for seeds, pose a challenge to manual
threshing due to the pair of glumes tightly encasing them. Based on natural evolution and …

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a major regeneration approach for in vitro cultured tissues of
plants, including citrus. However, SE capability is difficult to maintain, and recalcitrance to …
