a DMRs were identified by paired comparisons of the BS-seq patterns of the four samples (male flower buds at the premeiotic stage, M_pre; female flower buds at the meiotic stage, F_pre; male flower buds at the meiotic stage, M_mei, and female flower buds at the meiotic stage, M_mei) in each context. The DMR numbers, including the hyper- and hypo-DMRs for each cytosine context, are shown. b DMR proportions for all three contexts. c Localization of DMRs in different annotated features, including genic, TE, and intergenic regions. d DMRs were largely nonoverlapping in pairwise comparisons between F_pre vs. M_pre and F_mei vs. M_mei (upper). The DMRs between M_pre vs. M_mei and F_pre vs. F_mei also did not overlap (lower)
