Transcriptome-wide N6-methyladenosine (m⁶A) methylation in watermelon under CGMMV infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) causes substantial global losses in cucurbit crops, especially watermelon. N6-methyladenosine (m⁶A) methylation in RNA is one of the most important post-transcriptional modification mechanisms in eukaryotes. It has been shown to have important regulatory functions in some model plants, but there has been no research regarding m⁶A modifications in watermelon.

Results

We measured the global m⁶A level in resistant watermelon after CGMMV infection using a colorimetric method. And the results found that the global m⁶A level significantly decreased in resistant watermelon after CGMMV infection. Specifically, m⁶A libraries were constructed for the resistant watermelon leaves
