Dicer-like proteins influence Arabidopsis root microbiota independent of RNA-directed DNA methylation

Abstract Background Plants are naturally associated with root microbiota, which are microbial communities influential to host fitness. Thus, it is important to understand how plants control root microbiota. Epigenetic factors regulate the readouts of genetic information and consequently many essenti...
