Target plots (t-plots) of miRNAs targets confirmed by using degradome sequencing. A degradome cDNA library was constructed from the inflorescences of the B line and subjected to Illumina sequencing. A t-plot (top) and the corresponding miRNA:mRNA alignment (bottom) are shown for each of the seven target transcripts. In t-plots, the red arrows indicate the miRNA-directed cleaved transcript. The X axis indicates the nucleotide position in target cDNA. The Y axis indicates the number of reads of cleaved transcripts detected in the degradome cDNA library. The solid lines and dots in miRNA:mRNA alignments indicate matched and mismatched base pairs, respectively, and the red arrows and letters indicate the cleavage sites.
