Abstract excerpt
Currently, there are very few loss-of-function mutations in micro-RNA genes. Here, we characterize two members of the Arabidopsis MIR159 family, miR159a and miR159b, that are predicted to regulate the expression of a family of seven transcription factors that includes the two redundant GAMYB-like genes, MYB33 and MYB65. Using transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertional mutants, we show that a mir159ab double mutant has...
