Fig. 5

Validation of miRNA predicted targets. Graphic representation of miRNA-cleaved transcripts detected by high-scale degradome assay in representative stress-exposed and control samples. The obtained sequences were plotted (allowing 95% homologous matching) onto the predicted-targets sequences. The red lines on the X-axis indicate the position of the predicted miRNA recognition site in the melon transcripts. The values on the Y-axis represent the number of obtained reads (normalized in reads per million) except for AGO1 transcripts (obtained by conventional 5′-RLM-RACE and represented in percentage of sequenced clones)
