Herbivore insects deploy salivary effectors to manipulate the defense of their host plants.However,it remains unclear whether small RNAs from insects can function as effectors in regulating plant-insect interactions.H...

Post-transcriptional gene silencing mediated by microRNAs(miRNAs)modulates numerous developmental and stress response pathways.For the last two decades,HASTY(HST),the ortholog of human EXPORTIN 5,was considered to be ...

This work was supported by an IIF Marie Curie fellowship to TI (no. 329029) and a European Research Council (ERC) advanced grant "Frontiers of RNAi-Ⅱ" to OV (no. 323071).
In eukaryotes, the RNase-Ⅲ Dicer often produces length/sequence microRNA (miRNA) variants, called "isomiRs", owing to intrinsic structural/sequence determinants of the miRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs). In this stu...
RNA quality control of endogenous RNAs is an integral part of eukaryotic gene expression and often relies on exonucleolytic degradation to eliminate dysfunctional transcripts. In parallel, exogenous and selected endog...
Dear Editor Verticillium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae, poses a major threat to a broad host range of more than 400 plant species, including economically important cotton (Bell, 1992). V...
The first seedling or all-stage resistance (R) R gene against stripe rust isolated from Moro wheat (Triticum aes- tivum L.) using a map-based cloning approach was identified as Yr10. Clone 4B of this gene encodes ...
ABSTRACT A large proportion of eukaryotic genomes is tranScribed from both positive and negative strands of DNA and thus may generate overlapping sense and antisense transcripts. Some of these so-called natural antise...
Recently, it has been shown that plants contain homologs to the animal Polycomb repressive complex I (PRC1) components BM11 and RINGIA/B. In Arabidopsis, there are three BMIl-like genes, two of which, AtBMIIA and B,...
Epigenetics refers to the study of heritable changes in gene expression or cellular phenotype without changes in DNA sequence. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is accomplished by DNA methylation, histone modif...
The complex responses of eukaryotic cells to external factors are governed by several transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. Several of them occur in the nucleus and have been linked to the action of non-...
