Fig. 2From: microRNA-dependent gene regulatory networks in maize leaf senescenceLength distribution and abundance of sRNAs in the samples. The 24-nt RNAs were the most abundant and more than half of the sRNAs ranged in length from 20 to 24nt (54.88 %, 50.89 %, 52.99 %, and 51.58 % for ELS-1 at 20DAP, ELS-1 at 30DAP, Yu87-1 at 20DAP, and Yu87-1 at 30DAP, respectively). miRNAs were 21–22nt, while siRNAs were 24ntBack to article page
