Novel insights from non-conserved microRNAs in plants

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding regulatory RNAs, are canonically 20–24 nucleotides (nt) in length and bind to complementary target RNA sequences, guiding target attenuation via mRNA degradation or translation inhibition. Of the annotated miRNA families, evolutionarily conserved...
