RNA-Binding Proteins in Plant Immunity

RNA-Binding Proteins in Plant Immunity

Plant defence responses against pathogen infection are crucial to plant survival. The high degree of regulation of plant immunity occurs both transcriptionally and posttranscriptionally. Once transcribed, target gene RNA must be processed prior to translation. This includes polyadenylation, 5′cappin...
