Plant MicroRNAs and Development

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of about 20–24 nt small non-coding RNAs that can regulate their target gene expression transcriptionally and posttranscriptionally. There are an increasing number of studies describing the identification of new components and regulatory mechanisms involved in the miRNA...

More Information
Summary:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of about 20–24 nt small non-coding RNAs that can regulate their target gene expression transcriptionally and posttranscriptionally. There are an increasing number of studies describing the identification of new components and regulatory mechanisms involved in the miRNA biogenesis and effector pathway as well as new functions of miRNAs in plant development. This review mainly focuses on the components involved in this pathway, and the developmental defects associated with the corresponding mutations. Some functions of important miRNAs in plant development, together with the modes of miRNA action, are also discussed in this review to describe the recent advance in this area.
