JA-independent and dependent miRNAs accumulation in response to OS-elicitation.(A) W+OS inducible and JA-independent miRNAs. (B) W+OS inducible miRNAs accumulated more in ir-aocplant. (C) W+OS inducible and JA-dependent miRNAs. Shown are mean (± SE) levels of miRNAs in control and elicited leaves at 1 h or 5 h after W+OS treatment in wild-type (WT) and ir-aocplants. For each sample, one leaf on the rosette of a 32-day-old WT and ir-aocplant was left untreated (control, CTRL) or treated with wounding plus oral secretions of the larvae of the specialist herbivoreM. sexta(W+OS) and harvested 1 h or 5 h post elicitation. Letters indicate significant differences (P< 0.05) in Fisher’s PLSD tests following an ANOVA.
