...Erin Doody; Yuqi Zha; Jia He; R. Scott Poethig ABSTRACT The juvenile-to-adult transition in plants is known as vegetative phase change and is marked by changes in the expression of leaf traits in response to a decrease in the level of miR156 and miR157. To determine whether this is the only...

... regulates vegetative phase change downstream of, or in parallel to, the miR156/ SPL pathway, and that it is not universally required for miRNA-mediated translational repression. * Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Handling Editor: Ykä Helariutta Competing interests...

...Mingli Xu; Aaron R. Leichty; Tieqiang Hu; R. Scott Poethig ABSTRACT Vegetative phase change in Arabidopsis thaliana is mediated by a decrease in the level of MIR156A and MIR156C , resulting in an increase in the expression of their targets, SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) genes...

...Matthew R. Willmann; R. Scott Poethig Plants undergo two major post-embryonic developmental transitions – the juvenile-to-adult vegetative transition (vegetative phase change) and the adult-to-reproductive transition (flowering). In woody plants, these transitions can be separated by years...
