A novel system for evaluating drought-cold tolerance of grapevines using chlorophyll fluorescence.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding RNAs that play an important role in development and environmental responses. Hundreds of plant miRNAs have been identified to date, mainly from the model species for which there are available genome sequences. The current challenge is to characterise ...
