The change of miR396’s target genes in plants.

The change of miR396’s target genes in plants. (A) Alignment of miR396 and its binding site in CsaGRFs in cucumber. (B) Alignment of miR396 and its binding site in CsaWPRa4 in cucumber. (C) Alignment of miR396 and its binding site in AtGRFs in Arabidopsis. Mismatch nucleotides are marked in white. (D) The role of CsamiR396–CsaGRF/CsaWPRa4 in cucumber. CsamiR396 integrates the intrinsic developmental signal and the extrinsic environmental signal to regulate organ size through CsaGRF, while it may regulate chloroplast activity and flower morphogenesis through CsaWPRa4 in cucumber. (E) Schematic illustration of the role of synonymous substitution in altering miRNA–target gene interactions to contribute genome evolution in plants.
