🌱💡 Did you know nuclear pores do more than let molecules in & out? Our new study shows they also act as control hubs for pri-miRNA transcription & processing!
A surprising twist in how plants fine-tune gene silencing.

miR825‐5p‐regulated TNLs govern Arabidopsis resistance to Tetranychus urticae and Pieris brassicae
MicroRNAs are essential regulators in plant resistance to biotic stresses, but their specific roles in the plant–herbivore context require deeper investigation. Here, we studied how the Arabidopsis .....
