  1. The sequences given in this table represent the longest miRNA sequences identified by cloning and 454 sequencing. *The underlined nucleotides represent the non-conserved nucleotides among wheat and other plant species. †The plus symbols indicate: ++, miRNA sequences of wheat were exactly identical to those in other species; +, miRNA sequences of wheat were conserved in other species but have variations in some nucleotide positions.
