Evolution of MIR159/319 microRNA genes and their post-transcriptional regulatory link to siRNA pathways
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are prevalent and important endogenous gene regulators in eukaryotes. MiR159 and miR319 are highly conserved miRNAs essential for plant development and fertility. Despite high similarity in conservation pattern and...
