Roles of MicroRNA in Regulation of Plants Growth and Development and Stress Responses
MicroRNA is a kind of endogenous, no-coding, single-stranded and micro-molecule RNA which is being applied extensively in modern scientific research.As a kind of important negative regulators, microRNA regulates plants' life process by guiding target genes to degrade and prohibit them from translating.The paper summarized the important regulation roles of microRNA in plants metabolism, organ development and under all kinds of biotic and abiotic stress, to introduce the latest research development of miRNA in finding, function and evolution.
