PEP444c encoded within MIR444c gene regulates microRNA444c accumulation in barley

Mutations in the PEP444c coding region have an impact on the accumulation of corresponding microRNA. The level of microRNA444c is decreased in roots of pep444c-332.10 mutant plants compared to WT plants, whereas the level of microRNA444c in shoots was unchanged. Results indicate a significant effect of PEP444c on the accumulation of microRNA444c in roots. Overall design: small RNA sequencing of wild type and mutant 33210 plants
