Texas A&M AgriLife researchers uncovered a promising target for controlling gene expression and other cellular processes.
This target centers on RNA regulation, which, when disrupted in humans, is often linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
The study shows that a protein called Serrate connects RNA modification and microRNA production, two essential cellular functions, in a way previously unknown.
The research team plans to expand their work to study how these RNA processes operate in other crops and in human cells.
The team believes that by manipulating these processes, they could improve crop resilience and productivity.
"We're excited to explore how we can use this knowledge to improve the future of human health and agriculture".
