Abstract excerpt
Although microRNAs (miRNAs) have been documented to regulate development in plants and animals , the function of miRNAs in physiology is unclear. miR399 has multiple target sites in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of a gene encoding a putative ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (UBC) in Arabidopsis thaliana. We report here that miR399 was highly induced, whereas the target UBC mRNA was reduced by low-phosphate (Pi)...
