The Role of miR-378a in Metabolism, Angiogenesis, and Muscle Biology by Bart Krist, Urszula Florczyk, Katarzyna Pietraszek-Gremplewicz, Alicja Józkowicz, Jozef Dulak

“…Its two mature strands, miR-378a-3p and miR-378a-5p, originate from the first intron of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator 1 beta (ppargc1b) gene encoding PGC-1β. Embedding in the sequence of this transcriptional regulator of oxidative energy metabolism implies involvement of miR-378a in metabolic pathways, mitochondrial energy homeostasis, and related biological processes such as muscle development, differentiation, and regeneration. …”

Cross-species single-nucleus analysis reveals the potential role of whole-genome duplication in the evolution of maize flower development by Huawei Feng, Wenjuan Fan, Min Liu, Jiaqian Huang, Bosheng Li, Qing Sang, Baoxing Song

“…Taking sorghum as the outgroup, it is likely that the loss of gene expression profiling contributes to the inflorescence diversity between tassel and ear, resulting in the unisexual flower architecture of maize. The sequence of highly expressed genes in the tassel is more conserved than the highly expressed genes in the ear. …”
