NGS results were suggested by One-Way Anova test (p ≤ 0.05). MiR 831-5p level could not be determined due to no read counts obtained under control conditions. MiRs: 861-3p, 3434-5p, 5632-3p, 5638a, 5650 levels could not be determined due to no read counts obtained under stress conditions. New salinity stress responsive Arabidopsis miRNAs unknown until now are shown in bold. FC means fold change.
