Alternative Splicing Landscape in Rice: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Camila Xu and Version 1 by A.S.N.. Reddy.

Alternative splicing (AS) is a vital post-transcriptional modulator of gene expression that amplifies the proteome diversity and regulates many physiological processes essential for mounting responses to stresses in plants.

  • Alternative splicing
  • abiotic stress
  • biotic stress
Please wait, diff process is still running!
