MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21 nucleotide noncoding RNAs produced by Dicer-catalyzed
excision from stem-loop precursors. Many plant miRNAs play critical roles in development, …

Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs of 18-25 nt in length that negatively
regulate their complementary mRNAs at the posttranscriptional level. Previous work has shown …

In this study, we defined the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARδ)
in metabolic homeostasis by using subtype selective agonists. Analysis of rat L6 myotubes …

The evolution of land flora transformed the terrestrial environment. Land plants evolved from
an ancestral charophycean alga from which they inherited developmental, biochemical, and …

We made a series of improved Gateway binary vectors (pGWBs) for plant transformation.
Fifteen different reporters and tags, sGFP, GUS, LUC, EYFP, ECFP, G3GFP, mRFP, 6ÂHis, …

It has been reported that some double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding proteins interact with
small RNA biogenesis-related RNase III enzymes. However, their biological significance is …

Double-stranded RNA induces RNA silencing and is cleaved into 21–24 nt small RNA duplexes
by Dicer enzyme. A strand of Dicer-generated small RNA duplex (called the guide strand…

Neurotrophic factors regulate neuronal development as well as synaptic plasticity, and their
impairment is often implicated as a cause of schizophrenia. Among various neurotrophic …

The pathogenesis of schizophrenia has yet to be fully characterized. Gene–environment
interactions have been found to play a crucial role in the vulnerability to this disease. Among …

Plant viruses encode movement proteins (MPs) that facilitate cell–cell transport of infection
through plasmodesmata. Intracellular and intercellular spread of virus replication complexes (…
