Integrated transcriptome, small RNA, and degradome analysis reveals the complex network regulating starch biosynthesis in maize

Abstract Background Starch biosynthesis in endosperm is a key process influencing grain yield and quality in maize. Although a number of starch biosynthetic genes have been well characterized, the mechanisms by which the expression of these genes is regulated, especially in regard to microRNAs (miRN...
