Nature Plants - This study demonstrates that the processing of miRNAs in plants can occur coupled to transcription, post-transcriptionally or as a mixture of both in a process promoted by...

Arce et al. show that insertion of an inverted repeat, generally a transposon, near a gene can cause changes in the local chromatin topology and host gene expression. Natural variation and gene...

Twelve experts present and discuss new and long-standing compelling open questions in plant RNA biology and future perspectives in the field.

After binding to nascent primary microRNA (miRNA) transcripts (pri-miRNAs), the miRNA biogenesis protein HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1 (HYL1) acts as a scaffold that

This review provides an updated and critical view of the miRNA biogenesis pathway highlighting current gaps in our knowledge and the most compelling open q

We summarize our current knowledge of functional transposable element-derived long and small non-coding RNAs acting in trans to shape plant genome activity

Transposons are mobile elements that are commonly silenced to protect eukaryotic genome integrity. In plants, transposable elements (TEs) can be activated during stress conditions and subsequently...

A brief video summary of our "R-Loops between nascent pri-miRNAs and the encoding loci promote co-transcriptional processing of miRNAs in plants" pre-print.

MicroRNAs are small regulatory RNAs involved in several processes in plants ranging from development and stress responses to defense against pathogens. In order to accomplish their molecular functi...
