Analysis of SlmiR-168a and SlAGO1 expression in different tissues of tomato plants
The expression of SlmiR-168a and SlAGO1 in different tissues of tomato plants was evaluated by RT-PCR (Fig. 2).SlmiR-168a and SlAGO1 were detected in all tissues. The expression levels of SlmiR-168a were the highest in the leaves and flowers, followed by the roots and stems. In the stems, leaves, and flowers, SlAGO1 showed the opposite expression pattern compared with miR-168a .
