Fig. 6From: Uncovering anthocyanin biosynthesis related microRNAs and their target genes by small RNA and degradome sequencing in tuberous roots of sweetpotatoComparison of the expression levels of the miRNAs and their corresponding target genes determined by qRT-PCR and deep sequencing. a-h The Y-axis on the left and right represented the relative expression levels determined by qRT-PCR and deep sequencing, respectively. Ib5S rRNA and ibActin were used as an internal control for miRNAs and targets, respectively. The expression levels of the miRNAs and targets in XS-18 were set as 1.0. Relative expression was calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt method. The bars represented the mean ± SD values of three biological experiments. * and ** indicated a statistically significant difference between XS-18 and XZS-3 at P < 0.05 and 0.01 according to DMRT analysis, respectivelyBack to article page
