Genome-wide identification of AGO18b-bound miRNAs and phasiRNAs in maize by cRIP-seq

Abstract Background Argonaute proteins (AGOs) are important players in the regulation of plant development by directing sRNAs to target mRNAs. In maize (Zea mays), AGO18b is a tassel-enriched and grass-specific AGO. Previous studies have shown that AGO18b is highly expressed in tassels during meiosi...
