Figure 9. Retrieved micro-RNA connections of aphid-specific and P. syringae-specific genes. A red triangle represents a target gene, and a green circle represents a microRNA.

A) Among the transcripts showing aphid-specific responses, 42 genes are known to contain microRNA binding sites. Please also refer to Table 6 and Table 7 for detailed information and related evidence from the literature. B) Among the transcripts showing P. syringae-specific responses, 9 genes are known to contain validated microRNA binding sites. We were able to find related references in the literature for the reported 23 microRNAs. Please also refer to Table 8 and Table 9 for detailed information and related evidence from the literature.
