From: miRNA alteration is an important mechanism in sugarcane response to low-temperature environment
The expression of miR156, miR168, miR169 and miR408 in sugarcane under salt (a) and drought (b) stresses. The four miRNAs showed different responses to the salt and drought treatments. Compared with the other three miRNAs, miR156 showed the largest differential expression. The other three miRNAs exhibited smaller differences compared to the control. 18S rRNA was used as the internal control gene. Each bar represented as means of three replicates (n = 3) ± standard error. Lowercase letters in each graph attest significant differences within the same gene/miRNA over the treatment period, as determined by Duncan’s new multiple range test (p-value <0.05)
