Abstract excerpt
Nitrate and ammonium are two major nitrogen (N) sources for higher plants, but they differ in utilization and signaling. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in N signal transduction; however, knowledge remains limited about the regulatory role of miRNAs responsive to different N sources, especially in crop plants. To get global overview on miRNAs involved in N response in rice, we performed high-throughput...
