Conserved and other known miRNAs in N. benthamiana. Normalized read numbers of conserved and other known miRNAs across the tissues included in this study. Expression profiles are expressed in reads per million (RPM) genome matching reads. Heat map colours represents absolute normalized levels of miRNA expression ranging from less than 1 RPM (white) to more than 1000 RPM (red) as indicated in the colour key. We have identified 40 known or conserved miRNA families in the twelve sRNA libraries generated. All of the deeply conserved miRNA families (miR156/157, miR159/319, miR160, miR165/166, miR171, miR408, miR390/391 and miR395) were present in our data sets. The expression levels of different miRNA families were different and we also observed clear tissue-specific expressional changes within some miRNA families as it was expected
