osa-miR159a.2 homolog in maize. A) Alignment of Oryza sativa and Zea mays sequences flanking the conserved miR159a. The position of osa-miR159a.2 and miR159a.1 are indicated. * indicates conserved nucleotides. B) Comparison of osa-miR159a.2-mir159a.1 cDNAs from rice and maize by dot-plot analysis. Dot-plot was made between the Oryza sativa full length cDNA 1639 nucleotides (AK100209) and the predicted cDNA from maize derived by contiging maize EST (see methods). The diagonals reveal conserved sequences between maize and rice cDNAs corresponding to mir159a.1, osa-miR159a.2, osa-miR159a.2* and miR159a.1* as indicated by the arrows. C) Stem-loop structure predicted for the Zea mays osa-miR159a.2-mir159a.1 precursor.
