Dynamic regulation of small RNAs in anthocyanin accumulation during blueberry fruit maturation
Abstract Blueberry is rich in anthocyanins which accumulate during fruit maturation. Previous studies mostly focus on their translational/transcriptional regulation, but usually underestimate their post-transcriptional regulation, e.g. small RNAs. This study aimed to identify sRNAs and their potenti...
