Fig. 1. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of the expression pattern of miR482b in different tissues and in response to Phytophthora infestans.

a Tissue-specific expression of miR482b in tomato root, stem, and leaf. b Expression pattern of miR482b in tomato leaves at the indicated time after being sprayed with P. infestans. Data are the means ± SEs of three independent experiments. Letters indicate significant difference among samples, and letters shared in common between or among the groups indicate no significant difference at the P < 0.05 level
