Open AccessRice miR1432 Fine-Tunes the Balance of Yield and Blast Disease Resistance via Different Modules
microRNAs act as fine-tuners in the regulation of plant growth and resistance against biotic and abiotic stress. Here we demonstrate that rice miR1432 fine-tunes yield and blast disease resistance via differen...
