Fig. 8From: Inferring the regulatory network of the miRNA-mediated response to biotic and abiotic stress in melonNetwork of stress-responsive miRNAs in melon. a Nodes in the network represent differentially expressed miRNAs. Colors and numbers depict the different groups of stress-responsive miRNAs detected in melon. Node size is proportional to the number of stress conditions where a particular miRNA is differentially expressed (5 or 6 for broad, 3 or 4 for intermediate, and 1 or 2 for narrow response range). Edges represent weighted associations between the terms based on response to common stress conditions. b Graphic representation of the average betweenness of the nodes calculated for broad, intermediate, and narrow response range miRNAs in melon. The statistical significance of the differences was estimated by Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, significant P-values are showed in bold (<0.05), and non-significant values in gray. Error bars represent the standard deviations in betweennessBack to article page
