Fig 8. qRT-PCR of selected miRNAs and their target transcripts.

The histograms show the relative values of miRNAs while the lines represent the relative abundance of target transcripts. The analyses were performed as triplicates and the error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (s.e.m.). For each value, different letters indicate significant differences among mean values (*p-value ≤ 0.05; ** p-value ≤ 0.01; *** p-value ≤ 0.001). For all variables with the same letter, the difference between the means is not statistically significant.
