Extended Data Figure 8. 24nt sRNA analysis of inflorescence development.

sRNA expression at inflorescence stages 0 (shoot apical meristem), 2, 3, 4 and 5, was analyzed by Illumina sRNA sequencing (Methods). FPKM normalized expression values for each measured 24nt sRNA are plotted in scale with the genomic elements diagrammed at the top of the figure. Gray bars indicate detected 24nt sRNA that are not significantly differentially expressed between normal relative to mantled tissues (p > 0.05, student’s t test, two tailed assuming equal variance). Differentially expressed 24nt sRNAs are plotted as green or red bars for normal or mantled tissues, respectively. Bars above and below the zero line represent sense and antisense sRNAs, respectively, and are plotted on the same scale in both directions.
