Extended Data Fig. 7

a–c. The chromosome-wide view of IR2976 (a), IR3718 (b) and IR5413 (c) loci. d–f. Mapping of 21-, 22-, and 24-nt sRNA reads to IR2976 (d), IR3718 (e) and IR5413 (f). The sizes of these IRs are indicated below the IRs. The sizes of two InDels near IR3718 and IR5413 are indicated. g–i. Effects of IR2976 variation, the InDels nearby IR3718 and IR5413 on the expression of s / sc-traits, as indicated by the representative examples of sRNA177329 (g), cluster175431 (h) and sRNA001735 (i), respectively. −, absence; +, presence. P values were calculated by two-sided Student’s t-test (N = 138 for IR2976-, 167 for IR2976 + in g; N = 250 for InDel-, 35 for InDel+ in h; N = 196 for InDel−, 116 for InDel+ in i). j, IR sRNAs that were up- or downregulated in maize after exposure to cold or salt stress.
