Relative mature miR156 expression results from qRT-PCR. The expression level of miR156 was normalized using miR390 expression. Combined leaf and tiller tissue from V3 stage tillers harvested in year 2 (2016) was used for mRNA extraction. Letters represent significant differences between means (Fisher’s LSD, P < 0.05). Error bars represent standard error of the means. P = 0.0103
