Hvu-miR171-SCL molecular pathway. (A) RT-qPCR showing the mRNA abundance of different genes of interest in young inflorescence of two independent OE171 lines relative to WT at similar developmental stage (as shown by the SAM pictures on the top right corner; scale bars = 1mm), grown under LD. (B) Northern blot showing the level of different mature miRNA sequences in young inflorescence of three independent OE171 lines grown in LD and WT plants grown in SD and LD. Ethidium bromide staining of the small RNAs was used as loading control (SAM, shoot apical meristem; AM, axillary meristem).
