<div><p>Each experiment was done triple with similar results.</p>
<p>(<b>A</b>) Change in <i>pri-miRNA172</i> levels under drought conditions( Ler-0). </p>
<p>(<b>B</b>) Change in mature <i>miRNA172</i> levels under drought conditions in wild-type plants. * <i>P</i><0.05. </p>
<p>(<b>C</b>) RT-PCR analysis of <i>Pri-miRNA172A</i> and <i>Pri-miRNA172E</i> in the <i>gi</i> mutant under drought and control conditions. </p>
<p>(<b>D</b>) Changes in mature <i>miRNA172A/B</i> and <i>miRNA172E</i> levels under drought conditions in the <i>gi</i> mutant.</p>
<p>DR: Drought treatment began from the 14day age. For the mature miRNA assay, samples were collected at the 8<sup>th</sup> day of DR treatment.</p></div
