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 …

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 …

RNA silencing (RNAi) has a well-established role in anti-viral immunity in plants. The
destructive eukaryotic pathogen Phytophthora encodes suppressors of RNAi (PSRs), which …

Plant endogenous non-coding short small RNAs (20–24 nt), including microRNAs (miRNAs)
and a subset of small interfering RNAs (ta-siRNAs), play important role in gene expression …

Plant genomes are the source of large numbers of small RNAs, generated via a variety of
genetically separable pathways. Several of these pathways converge in the production of …

Three subfamilies of grasses, the Ehrhartoideae, Panicoideae and Pooideae, provide the
bulk of human nutrition and are poised to become major sources of renewable energy. Here …

Phased secondary small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) constitute a major category of small
RNAs in plants, but most of their functions are still poorly defined. Some phasiRNAs, known …

Vascular plants appeared~ 410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of
which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We …

Legumes and many nonleguminous plants enter symbiotic interactions with microbes, and it
is poorly understood how host plants respond to promote beneficial, symbiotic microbial …

Simple Summary Research on plant epigenetics aims to understand how endogenous,
biotic, and abiotic factors regulate plant development and growth independent of changes in …
