Quantitative RT-PCR based validation of expression of mature miRNAs in imbibed seeds, in comparison to dry seeds, in Arabidopsis thaliana. The qRT-PCR validation of miRNAs were done at six different germination conditions as 12 h/RT, 12 h/4 °C, 24 h/RT, 24 h/4 °C, 48 h/RT and 48 h/4 °C each compared to dry seed. The expression values presented here were the means of three biological replicates ± SD. The Arabidopsis ACTIN7 was used for each sample as an endogenous control. (a) ath-miR164a; (b) ath-miR169b; (c) ath-miR161.1; (d) ath-miR399a; (e) ath-miR399b/or, c (in Arabidopsis, miR399b and c contain the same mature sequences); (f) ath-miR824; (g) ath-miR834; (h) ath-miR854; (i) ath-miR2112-5p.Asterisks indicate significant statistical differences: ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 (One-way ANOVA).
