Front cover: The atypical genesis and bioavailability of the plant-based small RNA MIR2911: Bulking up while breaking down

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2017, 61, 1600974.DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201600974When vegetables such as cabbage are processed the small RNA MIR2911 (depicted as a hairpin), derived from the 26S rRNA, greatly multiply. The propagation of MIR2911 correlates with the degradation of the rRNA during processing. The enhancement of bioavailability post-harvest makes this dietary RNA unique among putative plant bioactive compounds.
