“…From these, miRNA molecules from the miR159, miR162, miR165, miR166, and miR168 families were the most abundant in all leaf tissue samples collected from the three Brassica morphotypes. This partially agrees with the results of Lukasik et al (2013), Wang et al (2013), andChen et al (2022) where miRNA molecules from miR166 and miR168 families were also the most abundant in Brassica leaves. The MDS dispersion plot (Figure 2C) based on the expression of these 111 conserved miRNAs showed that the round-rosette (tissue from rosette leaves collected from the round cabbages) and pointed-rosette samples cluster together.…”
