Small RNAs have a variety of important roles in plant development, stress responses, and
other processes. They exert their influence by guiding mRNA cleavage, translational …

In plants, heterochromatin is maintained by a small RNA-based gene silencing mechanism
known as RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM). RdDM requires the non-redundant …

RNA‐directed DNA methylation (RdDM) in plants requires two RNA polymerase (Pol) II‐related
RNA polymerases, namely Pol IV and Pol V. A genetic screen designed to reveal factors …

The Solanaceae or “nightshade” family is an economically important group with remarkable
diversity. To gain a better understanding of how the unique biology of the Solanaceae …

Plant cells communicate information for the regulation of development and responses to
external stresses. A key form of this communication is transcriptional regulation, accomplished …

Single-cell RNA-seq is a tool that generates a high resolution of transcriptional data that can
be used to understand regulatory networks in biological systems. In plants, several methods …

We developed public web sites and resources for data access, display, and analysis of
plant small RNAs. These web sites are interconnected with related data types. The current …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate
gene expression in nearly all eukaryotic systems. In plants, miRNAs can serve as major …

autophagy-miRNAs are also important regulators in the crosstalk between autophagy and
apoptosis. Furthermore, transcripts involved in autophagy and apoptosis may indirectly …

Three subfamilies of grasses, the Ehrhartoideae, Panicoideae and Pooideae, provide the
bulk of human nutrition and are poised to become major sources of renewable energy. Here …
