Various experimental strategies validated the circRNAs in A. thaliana. (A) A representative example of A. thaliana circRNAs (Ath_circ_FC4757) showing the validation strategy. Divergent and convergent primers were designed to detect circRNAs, while divergent primers were designed using the “out-facing” strategy. Sanger sequencing further confirmed head-to-tail back-splicing. (B) Divergent primers successfully amplified Ath_circ_FC4757, Ath_circ_FC4468, and Ath_circ_FC2295 in cDNA, but failed to do so in genomic DNA. Convergent primers worked on both cDNA and genomic DNA. actin 2: linear control.
