The many roles of small RNAs in leaf development.
Leaf development involves many complex genetic interactions, signals between adjacent cells or between more distant tissues and consequent changes in cell fate. This review describes three stages in leaf development where regulation by small RNAs have been used to modulate gene expression patterns.
