RNAi in Plants I take exception with your claim in The Scientist1 that RNAi was first discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans. While the term "RNAi" was first coined by Fire and colleagues,2 several ...

Thus, mechanisms for small RNA production in plants provide opportunities for the evolution of regulators with new specificities. As small RNA populations from different species throughout the ...

University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening ...

Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf ...

Both miRNAs and distinct types of small interfering (SI)RNA are trimmed by the sequential action of RNase III enzymes (drosha and Dicer in animals, or Dicer alone in yeast and plants), which ...

The study, Diverse plant RNAs coat Arabidopsis leaves and are distinct from apoplastic RNAs, was published Jan. 3, 2025 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.The first authors are ...

Recent breakthroughs in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA), such as the recently developed "RevGel-seq" method, have revolutionized plant cell analysis. This technique, independent of special ...
