miR397 modulates expression of fluorescently tagged CsiLAC4 and CsiLAC17 in tobacco leaf via miRNA‐mediated cleavage of mRNA. (a) miRNA blot showing generation of mature miR397 by transient expression of pre‐miR397 in tobacco leaves. Total RNAs were extracted 48 h postinoculation. (b) 5′‐RACE PCR of CsiLAC4 and CsiLAC17 from tobacco leaves coexpressing miR397 and CsiLAC4‐DsRed/CsiLAC17‐DsRed. Arrowheads indicate expected fragments supporting the miRNA‐mediated cleavage. (c) Site‐directed mutations of CsiLAC4 and CsiLAC17 in complementary sites of miR397. Mutated nucleotides are indicated in red. (d) miR397 represses expression of DsRed‐tagged CsiLAC4 and CsiLAC17 rather than their corresponding mutants in the tobacco epidermis. Confocal micrographs were obtained 48 h posttransfection. GFP was used as an indicator of successful transfection.
