Popis: Scientists from around the world met in May 2006 at the Sixteenth Penn State Symposium in Plant Physiology to discuss insights into RNA biology from both plant and nonplant systems. This meeting was sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation and the US Department of Agriculture, and included scientists at the forefront of this exciting field. Experts with diverse backgrounds, from plant molecular biologists to structural biochemists, discussed new advances in RNA biology. The topics presented covered the biological roles of RNA, particularly hormonal responses and development, regulation of gene expression by RNA, regulation of RNA localization, and bioinformatics approaches/analysis tools. This article will give an overview of small RNA pathways in plants, the biological roles of RNAs, and methods for analysis that were discussed in this meeting.
