Results from sRNA-seq expression analysis. a Total sRNA read length distribution for all replicates, b Distinct sRNA read length distribution for all stage replicates, c Correlation based clustering analysis for sRNA-seq expression values between the replicates of all microspore stages. d Length distribution of DE sRNAs in the first transition (T1 between stages S1 and S2, downregulated n = 37, upregulated n = 830), e Length distribution of DE sRNAs in the second transition (T2 between stages S2 and S3, downregulated n = 4,240, upregulated n = 8,868) f Length distribution of sRNAs negatively correlated with predicted target transcripts with DE pattern (T1 n = 5, T2 n = 243)
