Transcriptome-wide m6A methylation in natural yellow leaf of Catalpa fargesii.

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic messenger RNA, and involved in various biological processes in plants. However, the distribution features and functions of mRNA m6A methylation have been poorly explored in woody perennial plants. In this study, a new natural variety with yellow-green leaves, named Maiyuanjinqiu, was screened from the seedlings of Catalpa fargesii. Based on the preliminary experiment, the m6A methylation levels in the leaves of Maiyuanjinqiu were significantly higher than those in C. fargesii. Furthermore, a parallel analysis of m6A-seq and RNA-seq was carried out in different leaf color sectors. The result showed that m6A modification were mostly identified around the 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTR), which was
