Differential expression analysis of conserved and novel drought-responsive miRNAs. The changes in miRNAs for CL and DL are greater than 2-fold. For each miRNA, sequence reads were divided by the total sequence number then multiplied to 1,000,000 (reads per million). Differential expression of known and new miRNAs in response to drought stress by sequencing is shown in panel A. The positive and negative values mean miRNAs whose expression was stimulated and suppressed by drought stress, respectively. ** mean significant difference between control and drought stress at P ≤ 0.01. The relative expression level of miRNAs measured by RT-qPCR in response to drought stress is shown in panel B.
