Secrets of the MIR172 family in plant development and flowering unveiled.

Published in: PLoS biology (2021)

In plants, conserved microRNAs (miRNAs) tend to be encoded by gene families with multiple members. Two recent studies interrogated the functions of the 5-member MIR172 family in Arabidopsis and revealed complexities and intricacies of gene regulatory networks underlying floral transition.
