A predicted module for MSTRG.8888.1 mediated salt resistance. At the early stage of salt stress, zma-miR827-5p responded to the salt signal and modulated the MSTRG.8888.1 at the post-transcription level; then the modified transcript abundance of MSTRG.8888.1 affected the transcription and translation of the bHLH; the altered bHLH protein level induced the upregulated expression of five salt tolerance-related functional transcripts (MYB105, PPR2C14, GOLS1, RAFS1, and HRGP) by binding their promoters. The distinct responses of MSTRG.8888.1 to salt stress may partly account for the difference in salt tolerance between the two lines. The number of wavy lines showed the relative expression levels (RELs) of transcripts (the transcript ratios between salt stress and normal conditions). The red arrows represent the upregulated expression of corresponding genes under salt stress. The double arrows showed a higher REL in comparison to the single arrow
