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

One of the most common challenges for both conventional and modern crop improvement is
that the appearance of one desirable trait in a new crop variety is always balanced by the …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) monitor the plant intracellular
environment for signs of pathogen infection. Several mechanisms of NLR-mediated …

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 …

The study of plant diseases is almost as old as agriculture itself. Advancements in molecular
biology have given us much more insight into the plant immune system and how it detects …

High expression of plant nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) defense
genes is often lethal to plant cells, a phenotype perhaps associated with fitness costs. Plants …

Our previous studies indicated that tomato miR482b could negatively regulate the resistance
of tomato to Phytophthora infestans and the expression of miR482b was decreased after …

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR) are two forms of
induced resistance wherein plant defences are preconditioned by prior infection or treatment …

Although it is well known that miRNAs play crucial roles in multiple biological processes,
there is currently no evidence indicating that milRNAs from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp …
