Validation of selected miRNAs in roots by qRT-PCR. The data are the average of three qRT-PCR replicates for each sample from three biological repeats. Small nuclear RNA U6 is used as an internal reference. Error bars indicate one standard deviation of three different biological replicates. The expression changes of six miRNAs detected by qRT-PCR are consistent with the Illumina sequencing results.
