Fig 1. Genes contributing to the production of miR156 and miR157 in vegetative shoots.

(A) Northern blot analysis of miR156 and miR157 levels in the shoot apices of 11-day-old wild-type Col and mir156/mir157 mutants grown in LD. In Col, the miR156 and miR157 probes hybridize to 21 and 20 nt bands. A comparison of the effect of different mutations on the intensity of these bands indicates that the 20 nt transcript is miR156 and the 21 band is primarily miR157, with a small contribution from miR156d. The intensity of the 20 nt and 21 nt bands on the blot probed with a 1:1 mixture of the miR156 and miR157 probes was quantified by normalizing the intensity of each band to t-Met, and then to Col; these data are shown in the table below the figure. (B) Northern blot analysis of miR156 and miR157 levels in LP1&2 of wild-type and mutant plants grown in SD. The blots were hybridized with 1:1 mixed miR156 and miR157 probes, and the results were quantified as described above.
