Plants are exposed to biotic stresses caused by interactions ... responses and speculate that weeds may be affected by Ca2+ signal-regulated alternative splicing. Herbicide processes and the herbicide ...

Splicing is a basic requirement for producing ... they are first copied into precursors of mRNA, or messenger RNA. The spliceosome then converts them into mature, functional mRNA.

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Alternative splicing (AS), a critical process for gene expression regulation, allows a single precursor ...

Junk' RNA Segments Play Role in Protein Production, Cell Stress Response Feb. 11, 2025 — Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional ...

University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening ...

revealing new insights of novel regulatory mechanisms of RNA structure in plants. Genome-wide scale RNA structure profiling allows us to investigate general RNA structural features over 10s of 1000s ...

The approach is to develop small-molecule drugs that can correct RNA mis-splicing, leading to loss of RNA expression by exon-skipping. It is another way to go after hard-to-target disease ...

The plant has long been prized by herbalists, seekers of food and fabric dyes, and even pharmaceutical companies. Now, a collaborative team of scientists at several research centers in the United ...
