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

The importance of selenium (Se) for medicine, industry and the environment is increasingly
apparent. Se is essential for many species, including humans, but toxic at elevated …

The microRNAs (miRNAs) are small (20–24 nt) sized, non-coding, single stranded
riboregulator RNAs abundant in higher organisms. Recent findings have established that …

Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. S is majorly
absorbed as sulfate from soil, and is then translocated to plastids in leaves, where it is …

Sulfur is an essential nutrient, necessary for synthesis of many metabolites. The uptake of
sulfate, primary and secondary assimilation, the biosynthesis, storage, and final utilization of …

Sulfur management is an important issue in crop plant nutrition. Sulfur has a role in
fundamental processes such as electron transport, structure and regulation. It is also …

Like metazoans, plants use small regulatory RNA s (sRNA s) to direct gene expression.
Several classes of sRNA s, which are distinguished by their origin and biogenesis, exist in …

Plants display manifold metabolic changes on sulfate deficiency (S deficiency) with all sulfur-
containing pools of primary and secondary metabolism affected. O-Acetylserine (OAS) …

Sulfur (S) stands fourth in the list of major plant nutrients after N, P, and K. Sulfate (SO42-), a
form of soil-S taken up by plant roots is metabolically inert. As the first committed step of S …

Sulfate transporters are integral membrane proteins controlling the flux of sulfate (SO42–)
entering the cells and subcellular compartments across the membrane lipid bilayers. Sulfate …
