Expression correlations of miRNAs and their targets in storage root of cultivar Arg7. Quantification of the relative expression of miRNAs and their targets was carried out using the ^△△CT method, with the U6 gene and beta-actin gene as references for miRNAs and targeted genes, respectively, and Arg7 120d as the control; Arg7 120d indicated that the storage root of Arg7 was sampled 120 days after planting, the other samples were labeled accordingly; the Y-axis means the times at which the levels of expression of miRNAs and their targets in other samples were comparable to those in Arg7 120d. A-I: means different miRNAs and their targets.
