Expression patterns of some important miRNAs associated with leaf development. (A) A schematic pathway depicting various miRNAs that regulate the different stages of leaf development from initiation to maturation. Six main developmental processes are highlighted in blue. Corresponding miRNAs and representative leaves in the wild type are listed and shown in each box. (B) The relative expression abundance of several miRNAs in single- and double-mutant plants as detected by small RNA-seq. The numbers in the table refer to the normalized expression of the miRNA, each row indicates the expression abundance of the same miRNA in WT, STTM160, STTM165/166, and STTM160 × 165/166. Data were derived from two independent experiments. (C) The relative expression level of several miRNAs in WT, single- and double-mutant plants determined by qRT-PCR. U6 served as an internal control. Three independent experiments were performed, each with three replicates. Bars show SE. Asterisks in C indicate that values are significantly different at P < 0.01.
