Biogenesis of plant miRNAs. In the nucleus, MIR genes are processed to miRNA/miRNA* duplexes through the action of Pol II, DCL1, SE, HYL1, HEN1, and HASTY. In the cytoplasm, the duplex is incorporated with RISC-AGO complex to which guides it towards the target, resulting in suppression of the translation and cleavage of mRNAs.
