Identification and Characterization of Verticillium nonalfalfae-Responsive MicroRNAs in the Roots of Resistant and Susceptible Hop Cultivars
MicroRNAs are 21- to 24-nucleotide-long, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.They can modulate various biological processes, including plant response and resistance to fungal pathogens.Hops are grown for use in the brewing industry and, recently, also for the pharmaceutical industry.Severe Vertic
