Isolation and Identification of miRNAs in Jatropha curcas [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that play crucial regulatory roles by targeting mRNAs for silencing. To identify miRNAs in Jatropha curcas L, a bioenergy crop, cDNA clones from two small RNA libraries of leaves and seeds were sequenced and analyzed using bioinformatic tools. Fifty-two putative miRNAs were found from the two libraries, among

Hyperdominance of Exotic Invasive Trees in Street Afforestation of Semi‐Arid Brazilian Cities

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cities of the Brazilian semi‐arid region are dominated by non‐native species. Fifty percent of urban afforestation is composed of the invasive species Azadirachta indica. The urbanization gradient does not affect the richness of non‐native species. Cities farther away from the Brazilian coast are mostly biodiversity‐unfriendly.
