| Genotype | CG (34) | CNG (20) | CHH (41) | CG (11) | CNG (11) | CHH (29) | CG (23) | CNG (20) | CHH (35) |
| P1-wr:LH51 (red cob) | 4 | 3 | 3 | 23 | 27 | 5 | 10 | 4 | 3 |
| p1-ww:DP3 (pink cob) | 7 | 3 | 4 | 93 | 68 | 0 | 85 | 66 | 5 |
| p1-ww:DP6 (white cob) | 4 | 3 | 4 | 94 | 75 | 0 | 96 | 84 | 2 |
For each genotype and region, the average methylation (percentage) was calculated by dividing the total number of methylated cytosines in each sequence context with total cytosines in all the clones. For each region, the total number of cytosines in a particular context is given in parentheses.
