Whole-genome DNA methylation patterns of Oryza sativa (L.) and Oryza glumaepatula (Steud) genotypes associated with aluminum response.

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic mechanisms in crops have emerged as a fundamental factor in plant adaptation and acclimation to biotic and abiotic stresses. Among described epigenetic mechanisms, DNA methylation has been defined as the most studied epigenetic modification involved in several developmental processes. It has been shown that contrasting methylation marks are associated with gene expression variations between cultivated and wild crop species. In this study, we analyzed single-base resolution methylome maps for Oryza sativa (a cultivated species) and Oryza glumaepatula (a wild species) genotypes grown under control conditions. Our results showed that overall, genome-wide methylation profiles are mainly conserved between both species, nevertheless, there are several differentially meth
