The set of results obtained from subsequent work, seeking to identify the genes involved in producing the unknown signal molecule that plays the role of Nod factor, prompted the teams hypothesis that a molecule similar to a plant hormone (4), cytokinin, could act in th......on is rather inexpensive and time efficient. Our results found SNPs linked to two root-knot nematode resistance genes and developed the resources for a relatively high throughput method of selection for the two genes, said Ha.

Our results suggest that the effector function of miRNA in somatic cells relies mostly on translational control of gene expression rather than on destruction of the mRNA targets. This finding may force rethinking of current strategies for the identification o...
