Coordination of m⁶A mRNA methylation and gene transcriptome in rice response to cadmium stress.

ABSTRACT: N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) is the most prevalent internal modification present in the mRNAs of all higher eukaryotes. However, the role of the m⁶A methylomes in rice is still poorly understood. With the development of the MeRIP-seq technique, the in-depth identification of mRNAs with m⁶A modification has become feasible. A study suggested that m⁶A modification is crucial for posttranscriptional regulation related to Cd²⁺-induced malignant transformation, but the association between m⁶A modification in plants and Cd tolerance has not been reported. We investigated the m⁶A methylomes in the roots of a cadmium (Cd)-treated group and compared them with the roots in the control (CK) group by m⁶A seq
