Annotation of differential expressed sRNA loci identified the putative cleavage of transcripts in pear winter buds. a Distribution among length groups of DE sRNA loci. b Distribution among structure groups of DE sRNA loci. c A small portion of sRNA loci overlapped with transposon and transcripts. d Especially, 20 loci located in exon regions of 19 genes, within which two genes were upregulated in pear winter buds toward endodormancy release. e Expression pattern of the DE-sRNA-loci-overlapped genes in ‘Kosui’ and ‘Suli’. Two genes, a bZIP gene and an unannotatable gene, were differentially expressed between endodormant and ecodormant buds
