Supplemental Table 1. Validatedmirna Targets with Known Functions in Plants

Supplemental table 1. ValidatedmiRNA targets with known functions in plants.

Most validated miRNA-target pairs were collected from the following sources: 1) the collection of Dr. Jim Carrington (as of Oct 2007, Carrington_MIRNA_TAS_data.xls) downloaded from ftp://ftp.arabidopsis.org/home/tair/Genes/SmallRNAs; 2) miRNA-target pairs collected by Bonnet et. al (2010), which include the data from degradome analysis or parallel analysis of RNA ends (PARE) in Arabidopsis thaliana. (Bonnet et al. 2010); 3) degradome analysis of rice Oryza sativa, moss Physcomitrella patens, grapevine Vitis vinifera, and soybean Glycine max. * indicates that the target family belongs to transcriptional factors. For the data from degradome sequencing, targets with low abundant tags (category III) have low confidence of real targets are removed from the table.
