Identification of regulatory pathways of miRna and phasiRna related to flax lignan synthesis
Lignan is an important functional health care substance. At present, research on the molecular mechanism of flax lignan biosynthesis is primarily focused at the transcriptional level, with no research on the regulatory mechanism of small RNAs ...
