SNPs in sugarcane miRNAs and qRT-PCR validation. a Reads mapping of variant sof-miR5564b-3p and sof-miRN396-3p showed SNPs in their sequences. b Venn diagram of target genes of normal and variant sof-miRN396 showed because of the SNP (C - > T) in the “seed” region sof-miRN396 lost 11 target genes (e.g. LRKS5, WEX, Y2242) but gained new target genes (POL2, E139, Y5162). c qRT-PCR validation for candidate miRNAs (sof-miR159-3p, sof-miR166a-3p, sof-miR396a-5p and sof-miR5564b-3p) and variant miRNA (sof-miR5564bV-3p)
