21-nt phasiRNAs direct target mRNA cleavage in rice male germ cells
Phased small interfering RNA (phasiRNAs) are abundantly expressed in the anthers of grasses. Here, the authors profile 21-nt and 24-nt phasiRNA expression at different stages of meiocyte development in rice and provide evidence that 21-nt phasiRNAs direct cleavage of hundreds of target mRNAs.
