Genome-Wide Identification of Putative MicroRNAs in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and Their Functional Landscape in Cellular Regulation

Figure 5

The relationship of miRNAs and target genes. (a) The distribution of a number of target genes that were bound by one miRNA. (b-e) The interactions of miRNAs (blue) and their target genes (pink), randomly selected from each group of miRNAs classed based upon the number of target genes. (f-i) The interactions of miRNAs (blue) and their target genes (pink) for the five selected miRNAs which have maximum number of target genes. (j-m) Vann diagrams represent common and unique target genes among the 5 selected miRNAs. (n-q) Bar graphs represent numbers of target genes (y-axis) that were coregulated by multiple miRNAs (x-axis).
