A microRNA as a translational repressor of APETALA2 in Arabidopsis flower development.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 26 Mar 2004

Chen Xuemei

Abstract excerpt

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) show a high degree of sequence complementarity to, and are believed to guide the cleavage of, their target messenger RNAs. Here, I show that miRNA172, which can base-pair with the messenger RNA of a floral homeotic gene, APETALA2, regulates APETALA2 expression primarily through translational inhibition. Elevated miRNA172 accumulation results in floral organ identity defects similar to...
