miR444 positively regulates the expression of OsRDR1 constitutively and upon virus infection. A, Overexpression of miR444 increased the expression of OsRDR1 constitutively. RNA samples were collected from wild-type (WT) and miR444-overexpressed rice plants (grown for 14 d). OsRDR1 mRNA levels relative to that of the wild-type rice plant were determined by qRT-PCR. B, Overexpression of miR444 markedly increased the expression of OsRDR1 during virus infection. Wild-type and miR444-overexpressed rice plants (grown for 14 d) were inoculated by RSV. At 14 dpi, RNA samples were collected, and OsRDR1 mRNA levels relative to that of the mock-inoculated wild-type rice plant were determined by qRT-PCR. Results are means ± se for three replicates. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the wild-type plant and miR444-overexpressed lines (Student’s t test analysis, P < 0.05).
