Northern blot analysis of novel and registered rice miRNAs. (a) Northern blots of novel miRNAs isolated from rice root, leaf, inflorescence and grains from three filling stages G1 (6-12DAF), G2 (13-17DAF) and G3 (18-20DAF). The blots were probed with ³²P end-labeled oligonucleotides; (b) Blots of registered rice miRNAs isolated from unhusked rice grains from filling stages G1-G3. 5 S rRNA was used as a loading control.
