In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs of approximately 20-24 nt in length which are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of genes controlling many fundamental biological pathways.

Cell-to-cell communication is essential for the co-ordination of responses in all multicellular organisms. One mechanism plants employ as defence against pathogens is restriction of cell-to-cell communication by plasmodesmata closure during infection.

PS Seminar Series: Controlling protein homeostasis and reactive oxygen species – keys to plant stress tolerance »
Plants are able to survive normally lethal temperatures if first acclimated by a more moderate heat stress, a process that can occur on a daily basis. We have dissected mechanisms involved in high temperature acclimation using both genetics and biochemistry in Arabidopsis.
