DNA methylation landscapes in different wheat species. a, b Representative micrographs (a) and relative intensities (b) of 5mC immunofluorescence images in metaphase cells of different wheat species. Error bars indicate standard deviation in 30 cells (n = 30) with double asterisks showing a significance level of P < 0.01. Scale bar = 10 μm. c Violin plots showing genome-wide DNA methylation distributions of A (red), B (green), and D (blue) subgenomes in T. durum, Ae. tauschii, NHW, ETW, and RHW (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, single and double asterisks indicate significance levels of P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). d, e Kernel density plots displaying CG, CHG, and CHH methylation changes between ETW and NHW (d) and between RHW and ETW (e) using a 200-bp window. f Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in CG (upper), CHG (middle), and CHH (lower panel) between ETW and NHW in NTW (durum), NHW, ETW, and RHW. The scales are 0–1 for CG and CHG level and 0–0.05 for CHH. g Percentage of DMRs in genic regions: intron, exon, upstream, and downstream. h Percentage of DMRs in TE regions: 0–1, 1–2, 2–4, 4–8 kb, and > 8 kb
