Fig. 3From: Transcriptomic and genome-wide association study reveal long noncoding RNAs responding to nitrogen deficiency in maizeqRT-PCR was performed to validate the differentially expressed mRNAs (a), lncRNAs (b) and miRNAs (c) identified by the RNA-seq results. There was no significant difference between RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR. qRT-PCR was performed to analysis the dynamic response of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA expression levels to LN stress at different treatment stages.*, significant at P < 0.05. **, significant at P < 0.01. ns, not significant were relative to 0 hBack to article page
