Roles of DNA Methylation in Cold Priming in Tartary Buckwheat.

ABSTRACT: Plants experience a wide array of environmental stimuli, some of which are frequent occurrences of cold weather, which have priming effects on agricultural production and agronomic traits. DNA methylation may act as an epigenetic regulator for the cold response of Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum). Combined with long-term field observation and laboratory experiments, comparative phenome, methylome, and transcriptome analyses were performed to investigate the potential epigenetic contributions for the cold priming of Tartary buckwheat variety Dingku1. Tartary buckwheat cv. Dingku1 exhibited low-temperature resistance. Single-base resolution maps of the DNA methylome were generated, and a global loss of DNA methylation was observed during cold responding in Dingku1. These sites
