ABSTRACT
Here, cytosine methylation in the whole genome of pear flower buds was mapped at a single-base resolution. There was 19.4% methylation across all sequenced C sites in the Pyrus pyrifolia cultivar 'Sucui 1' flower bud genome. Meantime, the CG, CHG, and CHH sequence contexts (where H = A, T or C) exhibited 47.4%, 33.3%, and 11.9% methylation, respectively. Methylation in different gene regions was revealed through combining methylome and transcriptome analysis, which presented various transcription trends. Genes with methylated promoters exhibited lower expression levels than genes with non-methylated promoters, while body-methylated genes displayed an obvious negative correlation with their transcription levels. The methylation profiles of auxin- and cytokinin-related genes were estimated. And some of them proved to be hypomethylated, with increased transcription levels, in wizened buds. More specifically, the expression of the genes PRXP73, CYP749A22, and CYP82A3 was upregulated as a result of methylation changes in their promoters. Finally, auxin and cytokinin concentrations were higher in wizened flower buds than in normal buds. The exogenous application of paclobutrazol (PP333) in the field influenced the DNA methylation status of some genes and changed their expression level, reducing the proportion of wizened flower buds in a concentration-dependent manner. Overall, our results demonstrated the relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression in wizened flower buds of P. pyrifolia cultivar 'Sucui 1', which was associated with changes in auxin and cytokinin concentrations.
