MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous, non-coding RNAs, which is 20–24 nucleotide
long, regulate the expression of its target genes post-transcriptionally and play critical roles …

For many years we have studied the processes involved in producing miRNAs in plants and
the numerous differences from their metazoan counterpart. A well-defined catalytic process …

In most organisms, the maturation of nascent RNAs is coupled to transcription. Unlike in
animals, the RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcribes microRNA genes (MIRNA s) as long …

Post-transcriptional gene silencing mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs) modulates numerous
developmental and stress response pathways. For the last two decades, HASTY (HST), the …

MicroRNAs are small RNAs, 20–22 nt long, the main role of which is to downregulate gene
expression at the level of mRNAs. MiRNAs are fundamental regulators of plant growth and …

The activities of RNA polymerases shape the epigenetic landscape of genomes with
profound consequences for genome integrity and gene expression. A fundamental event …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in gene expression regulation through RNA
cleavage or translation repression. Here, we report the identification of an evolutionarily …

ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins are the final effectors of small RNA-mediated transcriptional
and post-transcriptional silencing pathways. Plant AGO proteins are essential for preserving …

Horticulture is one of the oldest agricultural practices with great popularity throughout the
world. Horticultural crops include fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, as well as medicinal …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control various biological processes by repressing target mRNAs. In
plants, miRNAs mediate target gene repression via both mRNA cleavage and translational …
