On the complexity of miRNA-mediated regulation in plants: novel insights into the genomic organization of plant miRNAs

<p>Abstract</p> <p>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs of about 20–24 nt, known to play key roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation, that can be coded either by intergenic or intragenic loci. Intragenic (exonic and intronic) miRNAs can exert a role in the...
