ac Boxplots showing expression level of genes harboring methylated and non-methylated TEs within body and flanking regions in CG (a), CHG (b), and CHH (c) contexts at different stages of seed development. df Frequency of TEs within gene body and flanking regions of protein-coding genes that are DMR-associated [DMR(+)] and not associated with DMRs [DMR(−)] in CG (d), CHG (e), and CHH (f) contexts is shown in bar graphs. gi Frequency of TEs within gene body and flanking regions of differentially expressed genes that are DMR-associated [DMR(+)/DEG(+)] and not associated with DMRs [DMR(−)/DEG(+)] in CG (g), CHG (h), and CHH (i) contexts is shown in bar graphs. Significance of difference (p-value) was determined by Wilcoxon signed rank test and is indicated above the horizontal bars. Asterisks denote p-value < 2.2e−16. U upstream, GB gene body, D downstream.
