Artificial microRNAs against hypoxia-responsive small protein encoding genes reveal HRSP41 and 42 as regulators of development and stress tolerance

Abstract Background Small proteins remain poorly characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana , partly because of genetic redundancy and the difficulty of identifying loss-of-function mutants. To address this gap, we investigated 58 hypoxia-responsive small protein genes (HRSPs) encodin...
