Perspectives on microRNAs and Phased Small Interfering RNAs in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.): Functions and Big Impact on Agronomic Traits Enhancement

Small RNA (sRNA) population in plants comprises of primarily micro RNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). MiRNAs play important roles in plant growth and development. The miRNA-derived secondary siRNAs are usually known as phased siRNAs, including phasiRNAs and tasiRNAs. The miRNA and ph...
