MicroRNA Regulation of Plant Innate Immunity

Barbara Baker - Professor, Plant and Microbial Biology

Status: Check back for status     Weekly Hours: 9-11 hrs     Location: Off Campus

In eukaryotes, small RNAs (20–30 nt) derived from double stranded RNA precursors direct proteins to regulate chromatin function, transcription, RNA stability, and translation through sequence-targeted mechanisms termed RNA silencing. Two main categories of plant small RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), guide cleavage of mRNA and...
