This microRNA (miRNA) has now been predicted or experimentally confirmed in a wide range of plant species. microRNAs are transcribed as ~70 nucleotide precursors and subsequently processed by the Dicer enzyme to give a ~22 nucleotide product.
This microRNA has been identified in a wide variety of plant species through prediction or experimental confirmation, with small RNAs being initially transcribed as about 70 nucleotides before undergoing processing into a shorter, approximately 22-nucleotide molecule.
