Focus on Noncoding RNA Regulation of Plant-Microbe Interactions
2016
John P. Carr | Steven A. Whitham
Investigations in recent years have uncovered important roles for RNA molecules that do not encode proteins (‘noncoding RNAs’) but which, nevertheless, exert powerful effects on gene expression at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Our late colleague Biao Ding, who died unexpectedly on June 25, 2015, proposed a Focus Issue on the roles in plant-microbe interactions of noncoding RNAs, whether of plant or microbial origin and including small interfering (si)RNAs, microRNAs, phased siRNAs, and long noncoding RNAs, as well as viroids and satellite RNAs. The Editorial Board of MPMI has decided to dedicate this Focus Issue to the memory of Professor Biao Ding, a valued and deeply missed colleague and friend.
