Differential DNA methylation in kiwifruit dormant axillary buds (June; JUN) and at growth resumption (August; AUG). (A). Genome wide methylation in CG, CHG and CHH contexts. Error bars of the three biological replicates and p-values of t-tests between June and August are as indicated. (B). Volcano plots of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in CG, CHG and CHH contexts. DMRs showing at least 25% methylation difference (vertical dashed lines) in August compared with June and the adjusted p-value ≤ 0.01 (horizontal dashed line) are shown in black. C-D. Location distribution (promoter, exon, intron or intergenic) of hypomethylated (C) and hypermethylated (D) DMRs (August compared with June). E. Average methylation profiles of all annotated genes and their flanking regions: 2 kb upstream of transcription start site (TSS) and 2 kb downstream of transcription termination site (TTS).
