Fig. 5: Analysis of DMR-associated DEGs involved in anther development of male flower buds between the premeiotic and meiotic stages.

a Expression pattern of three correlated genes involved in the anther development pathway of male flower buds between the premeiotic and meiotic stages. b Methylation patterns of these three genes in male flower buds at the premeiotic and meiotic stages. The yellow frames indicate DMRs of M_pre vs. M_mei
