Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of predicted targets of miRNAs, including three novel miRNAs, in cotton. O (-3), O (0), O (+3), F (+7), and Leaf indicate RNA samples from the ovules at -3 DPA, 0 DPA, and +3 DPA, fiber at +7 DPA, and leaves, respectively. The label above each plot indicates the EST accession number followed by the predicted gene function and the corresponding miRNA. Relative expression levels (REL) were calculated using HISTONE H3 as a control.
