The diagram of complementary binding sequence of LNC_002923 and ZmmiR159 in maize (a). Co-expression the combination expression plasmid of MIR159c, Zm00001d015521, LNC_002923, LNC002923-mut (b, c, d). The relative expression level of MIR159c (b) were normalized using U6 gene. The relative expression levels of mRNA and lncRNA were normalized using the 18S gene of tobacco (c, d). Same letters are not significant at P < 0.01. **, significant at P < 0.01
