Figure 6.
miRNA-mediated regulation of transcription factors during pollen development. (a, b) Shown are interactions between miRNAs (rectangles) and mRNAs (circles) where the miRNA and mRNA are inversely regulated during the transition from tetrads to post-meiotic pollen (a) and during the transition from post-meiotic to mature pollen (b). The regulation during the transition is indicated via the color of the rectangles and circles and is either a downregulation (green and blue) or an upregulation (yellow and red). Abbreviations are given in discussion or are: GRAS: gibberellic acid sensitive (GAI), repressor of GAI (RGA) and scarecrow (SRC); HD-ZIP: Homeodomain-leucine zipper.
