Abstract excerpt
The ARGONAUTE gene family is involved in the regulation of gene expression via the RNAi Silencing Complex (RISC). microRNA (miRNA) are 20-22bp RNAs that direct RISC to target genes. Several miRNA have been characterized in plants. Their roles include control of flowering time, floral organ identity, cell division patterns, and leaf polarity. ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) is required for stem cell function and organ polarity,...
