In the past two decades, members of the SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-
LIKE (SPL) family of transcription factors, first identified in Antirrhinum majus, have emerged …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that have recently emerged as
important regulators of gene expression, mainly through cleavage and/or translation …

Drought is a normal and recurring climate feature in most parts of the world and plays a
major role in limiting crop productivity. However, plants have their own defence systems to …

Over the last two decades, significant advances have been made using genetic engineering
technology to modify genes from various exotic origins and introduce them into plants to …

There is a growing demand for renewable energy, and sugarcane is a promising bioenergy
crop. In Brazil, the largest sugarcane producer in the world, sugarcane plantations are …

Micro RNA s (mi RNA s) are an important class of small regulatory RNA s. The goal of this
study was to analyse stress‐responsive mi RNA s in switchgrass (P anicum virgatum), the …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs (sRNAs) with a wide range
of regulatory functions in plant development and stress responses. Although miRNAs …

One of the most damaging issues to cultivatable land is soil salinity. While salt stress
influences plant growth and yields at low to moderate levels, severe salt stress is harmful to …

Saline environment cues distort the plant growth, development and crop yield. Epigenetics
has emerged as one of the prime themes in plant functional genomics for molecular-stress …

MicroRNAs, small regulatory molecules with significant impacts on the transcriptional
network of all living organisms, have been the focus of several studies conducted mostly on …
