The AGO18b binding profile on the targets of miR166a for a negative regulation. a Volcano plot of the mRNAs specifically bound by AGO18b. The ratio of mRNA abundance in AGO18b RIP vs IgG RIP samples from ago18b::mum pre-meiotic tassels was normalized and plotted. Targets of mir159abfjk-3p, mir166a-3p and mir396cd were labeled with a different color, and targets of mir166a-3p were indicated with gene IDs. b Volcano plot of the AGO18b-regulated genes. The ratio of mRNA abundance in the RNA-seq samples from the ago18b::mum vs W22 pre-meiotic tassels was normalized and plotted. c A model to illustrate the AGO18b regulation of shoot apical meristem (SAM) and inflorescence meristem (IM) activity
