Table III. Methylation levels of embryo-preferentially expressed and endosperm-preferentially expressed genes.

Genes with greater than 4-fold expression in embryo or endosperm compared with vegetative tissues were selected. High methylation indicates that the methylation level of a given gene is above top 10% based on read numbers from 1 kb upstream to 1 kb downstream of the gene body.

Preference	Stage	Preferentially Expressed Genes	High Methylation
Embryo	3 DAP	1,597	34
	6 DAP	2,046	45
	9 DAP	1,898	59
Endosperm	2 DAP	14,480	425
	3 DAP	1,953	28
	6 DAP	1,902	34
	9 DAP	2,145	38
