CLA feeding induces the rapid accumulation of mir1 transcripts in Mp708. A, qRT-PCR analysis of mir1 transcripts in uninfested (–CLA) and CLA-infested leaves (+CLA) for 1 h on V3 stage Tx601 and Mp708 maize plants. B, Time course analysis of mir1 transcript accumulation in the Mp708 (V3 stage) whorl in response to CLA infestation. For experiments A and B, n = 4. Different letters above the bars indicate values that are significantly different from each other (P < 0.05). Error bars represent ± se. ND, Not detected.
