[HTML][HTML] Protocol: a highly sensitive RT-PCR method for detection and quantification of microRNAs

E Varkonyi-Gasic, R Wu, M Wood, EF Walton… - Plant methods, 2007 - Springer
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs with a critical role in development
and environmental responses. Efficient and reliable detection of miRNAs is an essential …

A systemic small RNA signaling system in plants

BC Yoo, F Kragler, E Varkonyi-Gasic, V Haywood… - The Plant …, 2004 - academic.oup.com
Systemic translocation of RNA exerts non-cell-autonomous control over plant development
and defense. Long-distance delivery of mRNA has been proven, but transport of small …
