Table 5.
χ2 and Fisher’s exact test significance results on the position-specific properties for non-model organisms versus A. thaliana in flower tissue. The first position and the ninth suggest that subtle differences do exist between A. thaliana and other organisms in key positions that determine the selection and mode of action for miRNAs
