The dcl234 mutant shows not only reduction but also ectopic accumulation of various sRNAs and indications of altered plant-microbe interactions. a Comparison of genome-wide sRNA abundance in dcl234 and Col-0 regarding different sRNA sizes. Statistical significance of p ≤ 0.05 and p ≤ 0.01 (student t test) is indicated by * and **, respectively. Mean ± SE, n = 4. b The types of genetic loci where dcl234 shows differentially abundant sRNAs compared to Col-0. TE transposon. c GO analysis of DEGs that were associated with altered sRNA accumulation. DEGs differentially expressed genes, DSRs differential sRNA regions. See also Figure S7
