Fig. 2From: Small RNA and PARE sequencing in flower bud reveal the involvement of sRNAs in endodormancy release of Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia 'Kosui')sRNA clusters (loci) identified by ShortStack pipeline. In total, 218,050 clusters were identified. a distribution of sRNA loci generating different sRNA species. 21 nt loci were processed by DCL1/4, 22 nt loci were processed by DCL2, and 23, 24 nt loci were processed by DCL3. Note that most sRNA loci in pear generated 24 nt sRNAs. b distribution of sRNA loci with different sequence type. MIRNA loci produce miRNAs, HP loci and non-HP loci produce 21–24 nt siRNAsBack to article page
