Quantitative RT-PCR based validation of various predicted target genes in imbibed vs dry seeds in Arabidopsis. The target genes were selected through psRNA Target tool based on their expectation values. The qRT-PCR validation of the targets were done at six different germination stages 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. Expression of (a) NF-YA8-target of miR169; (b) PPR superfamily- target of miR161.1; (c) PHO2- target of miR399; (d) AGL16- target of miR824; (e) CIP4.1 or CIP4- target of miR834; (f) R3H- target of miR854. Asterisks indicate significant statistical differences; ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 (One-way ANOVA).
