Target assay of effect of miRNAs on the predicted target gene expression in rice protoplasts. (a) Fluorescence micrographs of rice protoplasts transfected with YFP, YFP/miR160f-5p, ARF16-YFP and ARF16-YFP/miR160f-5p from left to right. The photographs were taken at 60 × magnification. (b) Fluorescence micrographs of rice protoplasts transfected with YFP, YFP/miR167a-5p, NB-ARC-YFP and NB-ARC-YFP/miR167a-5p from left to right. The photographs were taken at 60 × magnification. (c) Western blot analysis of ARF16 expression or black plasmid expression in rice protoplasts transfected with YFP, YFP/miR160f-5p, ARF16-YFP and ARF16-YFP/miR160f-5p from left to right using anti-HA and anti-GAPDH antibodies. ARF16 is indicated with arrow. (d) Western blot analysis of NB-ARC expression or black plasmid expression in rice protoplasts transfected with YFP, YFP/miR167a-5p, NB-ARC-YFP and NB-ARC-YFP/miR167a-5p from left to right using anti-HA and anti-GAPDH antibodies. NB-ARC is indicated with arrow. The original blots of c and d are shown in Fig. S5.
