TL;DR: It is shown that plant miRNAs can be induced by mechanical stress and may function in one of the most critical defense systems for structural and mechanical fitness. (via Semantic Scholar)

RNA silencing in plants by the expression of siRNA duplexes

NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH, 32(21).

By: S. Lu n, R. Shi*, C. Tsao, X. Yi, L. Li* & V. Chiang*

MeSH headings : Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Genetic Vectors; Glucuronidase / analysis; Glucuronidase / genetics; Humans; Molecular Sequence Data; Promoter Regions, Genetic; RNA / genetics; RNA Interference; RNA, Small Cytoplasmic / genetics; RNA, Small Interfering / biosynthesis; RNA, Small Interfering / chemistry; RNA, Small Interfering / genetics; Signal Recognition Particle / genetics; Tobacco / genetics; Tobacco / metabolism
TL;DR: It is reported that RNA silencing was achieved in plants through stable expression of short hairpin RNA, which was driven by Pol III RNA gene promoters, and the effectiveness of the human H1 promoter in a plant background suggested a conserved mechanism underlying Pol III complex functionality.
