Frontiers in plant RNA research in ICAR2023: from lab to innovative agriculture.

The recent growth in global warming, soil contamination, and climate instability have widely disturbed ecosystems, and will have a significant negative impact on the growth of plants that produce grains, fruits and woody biomass. To conquer this difficult situation, we need to understand the molecular bias of plant environmental responses and promote development of new technologies for sustainable maintenance of crop production. Accumulated molecular biological data have highlighted the importance of RNA-based mechanisms for plant stress responses. Here, we report the most advanced plant RNA research presented in the 33rd International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR2023), held as a hybrid event on June 5-9, 2023 in Chiba, Japan, and focused on "Arabidopsis for Sustainable Development Goals". Six workshops/concurrent sessions in ICAR2023 targeted plant RNA biology, and many RNA-related topics could be found in other sessions. In this meeting report, we focus on the workshops/concurrent sessions targeting RNA biology, to share what is happening now at the forefront of plant RNA research. © 2024.
