Plant microRNAs: Biogenesis, Homeostasis, and Degradation

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous, tiny, non-coding RNAs, are master regulators of gene expression among most eukaryotes. Intracellular miRNA abundance is regulated under multiple levels of control including transcription, processing, RNA modification, RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) as...
