Methylation site preferences in Pgt. A Proportions of Pgt dinucleotides and trinucleotides that are methylated in the centromeres and outside the centromeres. CG dinucleotides are highly enriched for 5mC methylation. For the trinucleotides, CCG is enriched for 5mC methylation. We observed very low levels of 6mA methylation. The centromeres are heavily methylated compared to the non-centromeric regions. Slightly higher levels of 5mC methylation are seen in infected leaves compared to germinated spores in centromeres. B Box plots showing methylation frequency distribution of CG methylation sites. Centromeres show higher methylation frequencies than non-centromeric regions
