Fig. 3From: DNA methylation-mediated ROS production contributes to seed abortion in litchiDNA methylation level in ‘HZ’ seeds was higher than those in ‘NMC’ seeds during the early stages of seed development. A DNA methylation levels (%) of CG, CHG, and CHH sequence contexts are represented respectively as vertical bar charts. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (t-test: * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01). B DNA methylation levels in the gene body, upstream and downstream (2 kb) regions of genes, and long terminal repeats (LTRs) transposable elements in different sequence contexts (CG, CHG, and CHH) at 5 DAP, 10 DAP and 15 DAP in ‘HZ’ and ‘NMC’Back to article page
