qPCR based expression profiles. Histograms showing the mean fold change (log2 scale) in the expression of 11 salt-responsive miRNAs at vegetative stage of O. coarctata and O. glaberrima under 12 h and 24 h of salinity stress. Expression of all the studied miRNAs was downregulated both at 12 h and 24 h of salinity stress in O. glaberrima, whereas the expression of all the miRNAs, except miR394, can be seen upregulated only at 24 h of salt stress in O. coarctata. Error bars represent the standard deviation (±), n = 3
