This meeting report highlights key trends that emerged from a conference entitled Post‐Transcriptional Gene Regulation in Plants, which was held 14–15 July 2016, as a satellite meeting of the annual meeting of the American Society of Plant Biologists in Austin, Texas. The molecular biology of RNA is emerging as an integral part of the framework for plants' responses to environmental challenges such as drought and heat, hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, light and pathogens. Moreover, the conference illustrated how a multitude of customized and pioneering omics‐related technologies are being applied, more and more often in combination, to describe and dissect the complexities of gene expression at the post‐transcriptional level.
