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

RNA silencing is a well-established antiviral immunity system in plants, in which small RNAs
guide Argonaute proteins to targets in viral RNA or DNA, resulting in virus repression. Virus …

Plants coordinately use cell‐surface and intracellular immune receptors to perceive
pathogens and mount an immune response. Intracellular events of pathogen recognition are …

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

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 …

A large and significant portion of eukaryotic transcriptomes consists of noncoding RNAs
(ncRNAs) that have minimal or no protein-coding capacity but are functional. Diverse …

Plants have developed a complex defense system against diverse pests and pathogens.
Once pathogens overcome mechanical barriers to infection, plant receptors initiate signaling …

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 …

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 …

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are∼ 21-nucleotide-long regulatory RNAs that arise from
endonucleolytic processing of hairpin precursors. Many function as essential …
