Summary
RACK1 is a scaffold protein that fulfills important functions in the Arabidopsis miRNA pathway. TP C02 will analyze (i) the mechanisms by which RACK1 affects the accumulation of miRNA precursor molecules and (ii) the relevance of RACK1 function and its dynamic expression for miRNA-mediated control of plant development and stress responses.
