The expression of miR168 and AGO1 in de-etiolating Arabidopsis. a Expression pattern of miR168. Data are mean ± SD from three biological replicates of sRNA sequencing. b Northern blot analysis of miR168 level during the times examined. Data are mean ± SD are calculated from three biological replicates. SYBR-gold stained rRNA/tRNA was a loading control. c Light down regulates AGO1. qRT-PCR results were shown as mean ± SD calculated from three technical repeats. Asterisks indicate p < 0.01 in Student’s t-test. Three biological replicates have shown similar results
