MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding endogenous small RNAs (long 20–24
nucleotides) that negatively regulate eukaryotes gene expression at post-transcriptional …

The establishment, maintenance, and removal of epigenetic modifications provide an
additional layer of regulation, beyond genetically encoded factors, by which plants can …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a distinct groups of single-stranded non-coding, tiny regulatory
RNAs approximately 20–24 nucleotides in length. miRNAs negatively influence gene …

Vegetative phase changes in plants describes the transition between juvenile and adult
phases of vegetative growth before flowering. It is one of the most fundamental mechanisms …

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

The plasma levels of tissue-specific microRNAs can be used as diagnostic, disease severity
and prognostic biomarkers for chronic and acute diseases and drug-induced injury …

Background The whole life of a plant is regulated by complex environmental or hormonal
signaling networks that control genomic stability, environmental signal transduction, and …

Germline determination is essential for species survival and evolution in multicellular
organisms. In most flowering plants, formation of the female germline is initiated with …
