Small nucleolar RNA R160 of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs. snoR160 was identified by computational screening of the rice "Oryza sativa" and is predicted to acts as a methylation guide for 25S ribosomal RNA in plants. snoR160 has also been alternatively named snoZ270 in rice. Small nucleolar RNA R160 Samm nucleolar RNA R160 (also known as snoR160) is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule identified in plants which functions in the modification of other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). This type of modifying RNA is usually located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is
Cannabis sativa Cannabis sativa Cannabis sativa is an annual herbaceous flowering plant indigenous to eastern Asia but now of cosmopolitan distribution due to widespread cultivation. It has been cultivated throughout recorded history, used as a source of industrial fiber, seed oil, food, recreation, religious and spiritual moods and medicine. Each part of the plant is harvested differently, depending on the purpose of its use. The species was first classified by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The flowers of "Cannabis sativa" are unisexual and plants are most often either male or female. It is a short-day flowering plant, with staminate (male) plants usually taller
