Plant genomes encode various small RNAs that function in distinct, yet overlap**, genetic
and epigenetic silencing pathways. However, the abundance and diversity of small-RNA …

Since the discovery in 1993 of the first small silencing RNA, a dizzying number of small RNA
classes have been identified, including microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression in plants
and animals. In plants, these∼ 21-nucleotide RNAs are processed from stem-loop regions …

Since the discovery of eukaryotic small RNAs as the main effectors of RNA interference in
the late 1990s, diverse types of endogenous small RNAs have been characterized, most …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that control gene expression through silencing of
target mRNAs. Mature miRNAs are processed from primary miRNA transcripts by the …

Regulatory small RNAs, which range in size from 20 to 24 nucleotides, are ubiquitous
components of endogenous plant transcriptomes, as well as common responses to …

Argonaute (AGO) proteins recruit small RNAs to form the core of RNAi effector complexes.
Arabidopsis encodes ten AGO proteins and a large network of small RNAs. How these small …

Micro RNA s (mi RNA s) are small non‐coding RNA s, of typically 20–24 nt, that regulate
gene expression post‐transcriptionally through sequence complementarity. Since the …

To better understand the diversity of small silencing RNAs expressed in plants, we
employed high-throughput pyrosequencing to obtain 887,000 reads corresponding to …

SPL3, SPL4 and SPL5 (SPL3/4/5) are closely related members of the SQUAMOSA
PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE family of transcription factors in Arabidopsis, and …
