Various species of small RNAs (sRNAs), notably microRNAs and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), have been characterized as the major effectors of RNA interference in plants. Growing evidence supports a model in which sRNAs move, intercellularly, systemically, and between cross-...
The universe of small RNAs, including both the 21 – 23 nt long miRNAs and the 24 nt long esiRNAs, has been expanding at an ever-increasing rate since their initial discovery in the early 1990s [12, 13]. Small RNAs regulate their targets via transcriptional or posttranscriptional suppression...
or hairpin-structured RNA precursors via activity of proteins such as Dicers, Drosha, and Argonaute (AGO and PIWI) [6,7]. A number of small RNA classes have been described in plants and animals and include small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNA...
in different kingdoms of life [1–7]. Although some of these ncRNA species show overlapping features in plants and animals, the information concerning their evolution and functionality is still limited [8]. Until now, the most extensively characterized endogenous ncRNAs are short interfering RNAs (...

The diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella(Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is a major pest of cruciferous plants and prefers to consumeBrassicavegetables. Since 1990, the production ofBrassicavegetable in China has increased 20-fold; meanwhile, the area ofBrassicavegetable crops damaged byP. xylostellahas als...
Small RNAs (sRNAs) have been recently recognized as key genetic and epigenetic regulators in various organisms, ranging from the modification of DNA and histone methylations to the modulation of the abundance of coding or non-coding RNAs. In plants, majo
While protein-encoding genes have been relatively well-annotated in sequenced genomes, accounting for a small portion of the genome space in plants, the universe of plant ncRNAs is rapidly expanding. Recent advances in experimental and computational technologies have generated a great momentum for ...
