Journal ArticleDOI

A MicroRNA Superfamily Regulates Nucleotide Binding Site–Leucine-Rich Repeats and Other mRNAs

TL;DR: ThemiR482-mediated silencing cascade is suppressed in plants infected with viruses or bacteria so that expression of mRNAs with miR482 or secondary siRNA target sequences is increased, allowing pathogen-inducible expression of NBS-LRR proteins and that it contributes to a novel layer of defense against pathogen attack.
Journal ArticleDOI

22-nucleotide RNAs trigger secondary siRNA biogenesis in plants

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the function of small RNAs is influenced by size, and that a length of 22 nt facilitates the triggering of secondary siRNA production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple Independent Defective Suppressor-mutator Transposon Insertions in Arabidopsis: A Tool for Functional Genomics

TL;DR: A new system for insertional mutagenesis based on the maize Enhancer/Suppressor-mutator (En/Spm) element was introduced into Arabidopsis, allowing the recovery of new transpositions on a large scale and establishing a sequenced insertion-site database of 1200 sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CLAVATA1-related BAM1, BAM2 and BAM3 receptor kinase-like proteins are required for meristem function in Arabidopsis.

TL;DR: The developmental roles of the CLV1-related BAM1 (derived from barely any meristem 1), BAM2 and BAM3 receptor-like kinases are analyzed and it is suggested that their developmental role is opposite to that of CLV 1.
