Abstract:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a central role in regulating various developmental and biological processes. The expression of miRNAs is differentially modulated in response to various stresses. Based on the recent findings, it has been shown that some of the pri-miRNAs encode small regulatory peptides, microRNA-encoded peptides (miPEP). miPEPs are reported to regulate the growth and development of plants by modulating corresponding miRNA expression; however, the role of these peptides i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
