MiRNA regulates development, anthocyanin biosynthesis…

MiR156-controlled SPL transcription factors not only regulate leaf size, speed of leaf initiation, phase change, flowering and trichome formation, but also anthocyanin biosynthesis.

Just out in Plant Cell: MiR156-controlled SPL transcription factors not only regulate leaf size, speed of … Read the rest

TIPS review on miRNA networks in development published

Although there are relatively few miRNAs in Arabidopsis, they are more highly connected than one would expect by chance, and form regulatory networks with many direct interactions.

These networks in turn have important roles in the control of development. Read … Read the rest
