Rhizosphere hybridization: A better alternative for exploiting citrus microbiome
Abstract: Rhizosphere security has become a pre-requisite to sustain the production by exploiting the microbiome profile of acid lime, fortifying with microbes via rhizosphere hybridization is one effective way of deciphering the negative interaction between plants and microbes. The lost photosynthates from plants through root exudates creates a novel environment to harbour a diverse group of microorganisms, as a result, microbes-mediated rhizosphere exerted a diversified role in physiological plant growth and …

THE REGULATORY ROLE OF SMALL RNAS IN PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND DEFENCE MECHANISM
Abstract: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are 20 to 40 nucleotides in length and plants use these regulatory RNAs to direct gene expression. In eukaryotes they act as a sequence-specific guide in several processes like assembly of heterochromatin, DNA elimination, mRNA cleavage and translational repression. Classes of sRNAs are categorized based on their origin and biogenesis. Out of all these, miRNAs and ta-siRNAs, constitute two important classes of endogenous small RNAs, are the …
