Analysis of mature microRNA (miRNA) expression is important to understand its physiological functions and pathological implications. Microarray is a powerful technology to profile global miRNA expression. In this study, we developed a rapid miRNA labeling method by which miRNA was directly labeled in total RNA for microarray detection. This method consists of RNA tailing by poly(A) polymerase, reverse transcription, and template-switching by moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) reverse transcriptase. After these reactions, the small RNA cDNA was ready for labeling for microarray detection. The whole process of prearray sample preparation was dramatically shortened to 2 h. Furthermore, this method allows very limited starting total RNA (100 ng) for microarray analysis. Our data showed that the results from our method were highly consistent with that of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Trauma and burns are leading causes of death and significant global health concerns. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation, influencing various biological processes of cellular RNAs. This study aims to review the emerging trends and key areas of research on RBPs in the context of trauma and burns.

Oil palm () yield is impacted by abiotic stresses, leading to significant economic losses. To understand the core abiotic stress transcriptome (CAST) of oil palm, we performed RNA-Seq analyses of oil palm leaves subjected to drought, salinity, waterlogging, heat, and cold stresses. A total of 19,834 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified.

Wheat is an important cereal crop globally and in the United States, and is the largest crop grown by acreage in Colorado. In June 2023, we observed wheat fields displaying severe yellowing and virus-like disease symptoms in plants across seven eastern Colorado counties (Yuma, Prowers, Kit Carson, Washington, Sedgewick, Morgan, and Weld). Symptomatic plants were prominent in fields and appeared bright yellow, with ringspots, mosaic patterning, and streaking on leaves.
