Apple miRNAs and tasiRNAs with novel regulatory networks

Xia, Rui; Zhu, Hong; An, Yong-qiang; Beers, Eric P.; Liu, Zongrang (2012-06-15)

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and their regulatory functions have been extensively characterized in model species but whether apple has evolved similar or unique regulatory features remains unknown. Results We performed ...
Transcriptomics of shading-induced and NAA-induced abscission in apple (Malus domestica) reveals a shared pathway involving reduced photosynthesis, alterations in carbohydrate transport and signaling and hormone crosstalk

Zhu, Hong; Dardick, Chris D.; Beers, Eric P.; Callanhan, Ann M.; Xia, Rui; Yuan, Rongcai (2011-10-17)

Background Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), a synthetic auxin analogue, is widely used as an effective thinner in apple orchards. When applied shortly after fruit set, some fruit abscise leading to improved fruit size and ...
Unique expression, processing regulation, and regulatory network of peach (Prunus persica) miRNAs

Zhu, Hong; Xia, Rui; Zhao, Bingyu; An, Yong-qiang; Dardick, Chris D.; Callahan, Ann M.; Liu, Zongrang (2012-08-21)

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently emerged as important gene regulators in plants. MiRNAs and their targets have been extensively studied in Arabidopsis and rice. However, relatively little is known about the ...
