Eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed and only a small portion of the transcribed
sequences belongs to protein coding genes. High-throughput sequencing technology …

In legumes, pod shattering occurs when mature pods dehisce along the sutures, and detachment
of the valves promotes seed dispersal. In Phaseolus vulgaris (L)., the major locus qPD5…

To elucidate the physiology underlying the development of superficial scald in pears,
susceptible “Blanquilla” fruit was treated with different compounds that either promoted (ethylene) …

Ageing is among the main risk factors for human disease onset and the identification of the
hallmarks of senescence remains a challenge for the development of appropriate therapeutic …

Sinonasal tumours are heterogeneous malignancies, presenting different histological
features and clinical behaviour. Many studies emphasize the role of specific miRNA in the …

Synaptic abnormalities are a hallmark of several neurological diseases, and clarification of
the underlying mechanisms represents a crucial step toward the development of therapeutic …

The aetiology of leiomyoma is debated; however, dysregulated progenitor cells or miRNAs
appear to be involved. Previous profiling analysis of miRNA in healthy myometrium- (M-MSCs…

In plants, programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental cellular process during development
that can also be triggered upon biotic and abiotic stresses. In Arabidopsis thaliana, …

Recent advances in high throughput sequencing technology have revealed a pervasive
and complex transcriptional activity of all eukaryotic genomes and have allowed the …

The domestication of crops is associated with the genome-wide loss of nucleotide diversity
caused by selection and genetic drift. Here we investigated 32 genotypes representing key …
