Funded Activity Summary

Plant microRNA systems: investigating slicing versus translational repression and the development of an anti-viral defence mechanism. The ability to specifically switch off genes has revolutionised biotechnological approaches, from fighting diseases to developing superior crops, however the underlying mechanism is poorly understood, limiting its application in practice. Outcomes from this project will provide such knowledge, allowing its precise use in diverse applications.
