Relative accumulation of conserved miRNAs in melon samples used for sRNA library construction. Total reads for each miRNA in each library were normalised relative to the total number of reads from the library, and expressed per 10,000 reads. (a) Cotyledons from melon cv. Tendral inoculated with WMV-M116 compared to mock inoculated cotyledons of the same cultivar. (b) Cotyledons from the melon accession TGR-1551 inoculated with WMV-M116 compared to mock inoculated cotyledons of the same accession. (c) Stage C1 and C5 ovaries from melon cv. Piel de Sapo. (d) Fruit from melon cv. Piel de Sapo 15 days after pollination (15d) compared to fruit from the same cultivar 45 days after pollination (45d). (e) Cotyledons from melon cv. Tendral inoculated with MNSV-alfa5 compared to mock-inoculated cotyledons of the same cultivar. (f) Cotyledons from melon cv. Tendral inoculated with MNSV (chimeric virus) compared to mock inoculated cotyledons of the same cultivar.
