Number of sequences and signatures (unique sequences) of mRNA degradation products found in the degradome libraries made from whole caryopsis tissue at the three developmental stages A (1–5 DPA), B (6–10 DPA) and C (11–15 DPA). The 20–21 nt pooled degradome sequences combine the 20 nt and 21 nt sequences shortened to 20 nt by removing the 3’end nucleotide.
