DCL2 phasiRNA-producing loci are conserved across Solanaceous species. DCL2 paralogs in pepper, tomato, and potato, and orthologs in petunia, benthi, and tobacco all produce 21-nt phasiRNAs (A). We identified conserved miRNA target sites for miR10533 and miR6026 in pepper, tomato, potato, and petunia (red and yellow arrow respectively denotes cleavage sites) that have strong target scores, and may be a conserved mechanism for triggering DCL2 PHAS locus production in these species (B).
