Alignment of the nucleotides composing the miR165/166 binding site in land plant class III HD–Zip mRNAs. x, a conserved position; –, a nucleotide position that varies: at the top of the alignment these symbols indicate conserved and variable positions in land plant sequences and at the bottom of the alignment indicate conserved and variable positions with the Chara sequence included in the alignment. Vertical lines indicate complementarity of the mRNA sequence to miR165/166. Arrows show five additional mismatches of the Chara sequence to miR166.
