Non-Coding
RNA-Mediated
Regulatory Networks
At ncRNA-lab we are interested in decipher the regulatory pathways mediated by non coding RNAs (mainly small ncRNAs) for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that allow crops to respond and eventually adapt to biotic and abiotic stress conditions.
Research lines
Regulatory networks of response to stress mediated by miRNAs
miRNAs are fundamental endogenous regulators of gene expression in higher organisms. miRNAs modulate multiple biological processes…
