The floral development of the allotetraploid Coffea arabica L. correlates with a small RNA dynamic reprogramming.

Researchers studied small RNAs during coffee plant development, identifying specific types like miRNAs and tRFs. They found a co-expression pattern in resistance genes across all stages, with miRNAs showing stage-specific accumulation related to hormonal responses and transcription factors. This research provides insights into plant growth regulation.
