Table 1 Gene expression levels of pri-miRNAs in roots and leaves of A. thaliana plants. Nineteen-days-old plants were exposed for 2, 24 or 72 h to 0.5 μM CuSO4, 5 μM CdSO4 or grown under control conditions. Only the pri-miRNAs with an expression level that is 2.5 times up (green) or down (red) regulated are shown. Transcript levels were calculated relative to the non-exposed plants at each time point. Data are mean ± S.E. of 3 biological replicates. (ND, not detected after 40 cycli)
