Putative novel miRNAs produced from potential new precursor sequences not previously described.

a: Sequencing reads (SR) were normalized to one million with the unique sequence reads of each library.b: exp1 is the experiment reported by us. Sequencing reads in the non-infected sRNA library are bracketed, while those in the RSV-infected sRNA library are not.c: exp2-4 are the three repeats of Du et al (2011). Sequencing reads in non-infected sRNA libraries are bracketed, while those in RSV-infected sRNA libraries are not.d: mean of the number of infected divided by number of non-infected reads; the following columns show the standard deviation and the t-test value to test whether the mean differs significantly from 1 (equal numbers of reads).*: indicating the sRNAs that have the significant changes in RSV-infected rice (p value
