TAS3, tasiRNA and its targets in R.rugosa. a The sequence and genomic locus of TAS3a. The red and blue region are the 5’ and 3’ miR390 complementary sites. The yellow and black regions in upper cases are the tasiRNAs that target ARF genes. b The 5’ miR390 site on TAS3a. c The 3’ miR390 site on TAS3a. d The distribution of degradome reads on TAS3a transcript. The two positions pointed by red and blue arrows correspond to the 5’ and 3’ miR390 site shown in Part (b) and (c), respectively. e The distribution of small RNA reads in the small RNA profiles on TAS3a. f Four ARF genes that are targeted by TAS3 derived tasiRNAs. g The T-plot of and complementary sites of TAS3a_D8(+):TR70407 |c0_g1_i1. h The T-plot of and complementary sites of TAS3a_D8(+):TR70407 |c2_g1_i1. In Part (g) and (h), the x-axis is the position on the transcript, and y-axis is the number of reads detected from a position. The arrows in the upper parts correspond to the positions pointed by the arrows of the same colors in the lower parts
