Deep sequencing of the microRNA expression in fall dormant and non-dormant alfalfa
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in post-transcriptional gene regulation that down-regulates target genes by mRNA degradation or translational repression. Evidence is increasing for their crucial roles during plant development. Identification of miRNAs at the global genome-level by high-throu...
