Fig. 8From: MicroRNAs and their targets in cucumber shoot apices in response to temperature and photoperiodEvolution of novel-mir153 in cucumber. a alignment of novel-mir153 harbouring sequences of three cucumber genotypes and the homologous sequences in melon, watermelons and pumpkins. Grey shading shows the exons, the multicolour shading shows the intron, the green shading shows the conserved sequences, and the yellow shading shows the novel-mir153 hairpin sequences. The blue shading shows the watermelon retained sequences. b secondary structures of the novel-mir153 hairpin and its homologs in watermelon, melon and Gy14 cucumber. The yellow shading shows the mature RNA and its homologs. c alignment of novel-mir153 and its targetsBack to article page
