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 …

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 …

contribution of small noncoding RNA molecules such as miRNAs and siRNAs has been also …

In natural or agricultural environments, plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses. Given the forecasted global climate changes, plants will cope …

Abstract MicroRNA319 (miR319) is one of the first characterized and conserved microRNA
families in plants and has been demonstrated to target TCP (for TEOSINTE BRANCHED …

Abstract Micro RNA 319 (miR319) family is one of the conserved microRNA (miRNA)
families among diverse plant species. It has been reported that miR319 regulates plant …

Sophisticated regulation of gene expression, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and their
target genes, is required for leaf differentiation, growth, and senescence. The impact of …

Through its photosynthetic capacity the leaf provides the basis for growth of the whole plant.

The Aux/IAA proteins are auxin-sensitive repressors that mediate diverse physiological and
developmental processes in plants [1, 2]. There are 29 Aux/IAA genes in Arabidopsis that …

The style and stigma at the apical gynoecium are crucial for flowering plant reproduction.
However, the mechanisms underlying specification of the apical gynoecium remain unclear …
