Genome Editing Technologies in Plant miRNA Research: From Functional Dissection to Precision Engineering
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs of ~21 nucleotides that serve as central regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression in plants. Unlike protein-coding genes, MIRs are short non-coding sequences with distinct structural characteristics that pose unique challenges for gene editing, includin...
