A miRacle in plant development: role of microRNAs in cell differentiation and patterning.

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small regulatory RNAs, which control gene expression in eukaryotes. In plants they repress mRNA targets containing a highly complementary site, either by cleavage or translational repression. Studies of individual miRNA/target interactions highlight the involvement of the miRNA-based regulations in a broad range of developmental programs, throughout plant lifecycle. MicroRNAs can...
