Reproductive phasiRNAs regulate reprogramming of gene expression and meiotic progression in rice
21-nucleotide phased secondary siRNAs are expressed in the developing rice anthers during meiosis. Here, the authors show that phasiRNAs can cleave target mRNA and act to ensure the progression of meiosis and fertility in rice.
