Abstract excerpt
We show, with miR171, that plant miRNA genes are modular independent transcription units in which the fold-back pre-miRNA is sufficient for miRNA processing, and that the upstream region contains highly specific promoter elements. Processing depends on flanking sequences within the miRNA stem-loop precursor rather than the miRNA sequence itself, and mutations affecting target pairing at the center and 5' but not...
