Fig. 2: Three lncRNAs decoy miR482b in tomato.

a Conservation analysis of the eTM sites of three lncRNAs that decoy miR482b. The conservation status of the sequence was analyzed by WebLogo. The red letters represent the conserved sequence at the second to eighth positions of the 5’ end of the miRNA sequence. The purple letters represent bulges permitted at the ninth to 12th positions of the 5’ end of a miRNA sequence. b Predicted base-pairing interactions between miR482b and the eTM sites of three lncRNAs. c Expression of the three lncRNAs in tomato inoculated with P. infestans. All data are the means ± SE of three independent experiments. Different letters among the groups indicate a significant difference at the P = 0.05 level
