In Poaceae, miR1432, a member of miR391S, exhibits dual targeting of a gene encoding for a calcium pump (ACA) and a putative calcium sensor (CML).

An absolute pleasure to contribute to this opinion piece with my Ph.D. advisor, Dr. Zhixin Xie.

Building on the findings from my dissertation, here we provide a comprehensive overview of miRNA391/1432/4376 superfamily’s (miR391S) ancient origin, regulatory conservation of calcium signaling components, and sequence diversification linked to functional innovation.

Happy Friday! Dr. Leonelli and her lab members worked to transplant sorghum at sunset last night at the Energy Farm. The drought has reduced seedling emergence, so they spent the evening filling in rows to ensure a dense inner canopy later this season🌱

Intriguing study! It would be nice to see if such sRNA based regulation of photoprotective mechanisms is conserved in land plants.

miR156-SPL9 module in plant's response to environmental temperature and light changes. @MengChen_Lab @Xuemei_RNAlab

[Meng Chen @MengChen_Lab]

In collaboration with Xuemei Chen's lab, we uncovered an essential role of microRNA156 in enabling plant growth plasticity in response to temperature and light changes -- https://t.co/MIPRCmJf2z. Congrats to all authors, and many thanks to our collaborators @Xuemei_RNAlab.

Our successful effort to create synthetic maize centromeres is now published! We hope to use this method to alter karyotypes in maize and other plants. And one day engineer entire chromosomes. https://t.co/tYfoA1BLlE

Easier installation with dependencies using bioconda recipe.

Most options the same, but some changes (sorry if I break your pipelines!).

Feedback, bugs reports, etc. --> GitHub at https://t.co/mv3pgmtvpX

Regulators of regulators.
Short regulatory peptides(~50aa) encoded by pri-miRNAs regulate plant’s growth and development by modulating the corresponding miRNA expression. Another application by @RAVIKUM36255513,
