    MsmiR156 affects global gene expression and promotes root regenerative capacity and nitrogen fixation activity in alfalfa

    MicroRNA156 (miR156) regulates a network of downstream genes to affect plant growth and development. We previously generated alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plants that overexpress homologous miR156 (MsmiR156OE), and i...
