Non‐coding RNAs in plant stress responses: molecular insights and agricultural applications
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3195-3233, August 2025.Summary Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in plant responses to environmental stress, orchestrating complex networks that finetune gene expression under both abiotic and biotic challenges. To elucidate this intricate ncRNA crosstalk, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of key ...
