Unique features of the m⁶A methylome and its response to drought stress in sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides Linn.).

ABSTRACT: In plants, recent studies have revealed that N6-methyladenosine (m⁶A) methylation of mRNA has potential regulatory functions of this mRNA modification in many biological processes. m⁶A methyltransferase, m⁶A demethylase and m⁶A-binding proteins can cause differential phenotypes, indicating that m⁶A may have critical roles in the plant. In this study, we depicted the m⁶A map of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides Linn.) transcriptome. Similar to A. thaliana, m⁶A sites of sea buckthorn transcriptome is significantly enriched around the stop codon and within 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTR). Gene ontology analysis shows that the m⁶A modification genes are associated with metabolic biosynthesis
