Genetic and functional diversification of small RNA pathways in plants.

Genetic and functional diversification of small RNA pathways in plants.

Multicellular eukaryotes produce small RNA molecules (approximately 21-24 nucleotides) of two general types, microRNA (miRNA) and short interfering RNA (siRNA). They collectively function as sequence-specific guides to silence or regulate genes, transposons, and viruses and to modify chromatin and g...
