From: Contribution of RdDM to the ecotype-specific differential methylation on conserved as well as highly variable regions between Arabidopsis ecotypes

Fig. 1

DNA methylation during seed ripening and germination in both ecotypes. a Chromosomal DNA methylation view. Red-colored circle indicates centromere. Sections in black or red indicate each pericentromere and chromosomal arm, respectively. b Average of DNA methylation level (%) of Col (lined) and Cvi (dotted) was calculated according to developmental stages in global (left panel), gene (middle panel), and transposable elements (right panel). c Stable difference of genebody methylation level between Col and Cvi. Genes including more than 5 sites of analyzed cytosine context with at least 10 reads were analyzed. Four differentially colored sections were selected at the AR stage for tracing the change in other stages. Sectioned several parts from the AR stage, methylated in Col but not Cvi (copper metallic), methylated in Cvi but not Col (pink), middle level in both ecotypes (azure blue), and highly methylated in both ecotypes (purple). (d–f) The methylation level of gene, transposable elements, and surrounding regions were analyzed for each cytosine context
