Plant cells accumulate small RNA molecules that regulate plant development, genome
stability, and environmental responses. These small RNAs fall into three major classes …

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 …

Cotton is not only the world's most important natural fiber crop, but it is also an ideal system
in which to study genome evolution, polyploidization, and cell elongation. With the assembly …

Background Trichomes play a key role in the development of plants and exist in a wide
variety of species. Results In this paper, it was reviewed that the structure and morphology …

Phenylpropanoids are a large class of plant secondary metabolites derived from aromatic
amino acids phenylalanine in most plants or tyrosine in partial monocots. It mainly includes …

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 …

Recent achievements in plant microRNA (miRNA), a large class of small and non-coding
RNAs, are very exciting. A wide array of techniques involving forward genetic, molecular …

Phased secondary small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) constitute a major category of small
RNAs in plants, but most of their functions are still poorly defined. Some phasiRNAs, known …

It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

In the long evolutionary history, plant has evolved elaborate regulatory network to control
functional gene expression for surviving and thriving, such as transcription factor‐regulated …
