Unique Features of the m⁶A Methylome and Its Response to Salt Stress in the Roots of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris).

ABSTRACT: Salt is one of the most important environmental factors in crop growth and development. N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) is an epigenetic modification that regulates plant-environment interaction at transcriptional and translational levels. Sugar beet is a salt-tolerant sugar-yielding crop, but how m⁶A modification affects its response to salt stress remains unknown. In this study, m⁶A-seq was used to explore the role of m⁶A modification in response to salt stress in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). Transcriptome-wide m⁶A methylation profiles and physiological responses to high salinity were investigated in beet roots. After treatment with 300 mM NaCl, the activities of peroxidase and catalase, the root activity, and the co
