Abiotic stress responsive microRNome and proteome: How correlated are they?

Environmental stresses, notably drought, soil salinity, extreme temperatures, nutrient deficiency and UV radiation, act both singly and in combination to reduce crop productivity. Plant survival depends on an ability to either tolerate or to avoid stress, so a variety of means have evolved to adjust the growth and development of plants in response to perturbations in their external environment. Plant response to environmental fluctuations...
