The dynamics of N⁶-methyladenine RNA modification in interactions between rice and plant viruses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) is the most common RNA modification in eukaryotes and has been implicated as a novel epigenetic marker that is involved in various biological processes. The pattern and functional dissection of m⁶A in the regulation of several major human viral diseases have already been reported. However, the patterns and functions of m⁶A distribution in plant disease bursting remain largely unknown.

Results

We analyse the high-quality m⁶A methylomes in rice plants infected with two devastating viruses. We find that the m⁶A methylation is mainly associated with genes that are not actively expressed in virus-infected rice plants. We also detect different m⁶A peak distributions on
