Key regulators of juvenile-to-adult phase change
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe precise control of cell division orientation drives plant 3D structure formation, enabling radial and longitudinal growth. The SPL pathway is closely linked to age-related processes in the shoot, driving the vegetative transition from juvenile to adult phases by regulating specific morphological…
Abundant, unusual RNAs on the leaf surface
Plant Science Research WeeklyIt seems that there is no end to the surprises that RNA provides. To the old-school trio of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA, the past 20 years have added miRNA, siRNA, tasiRNA and others, all with unique and specific roles in regulating gene activity. More recently, evidence has been accumulating that demonstrates…
