a Number and rate of histone marks that were variable across four tissues (young leaf, mature leaf, panicle, and root). b The rate of variable histone marks between the indicated tissues. YL young leaf, ML mature leaf, P panicle and R root. c Correlations of log2-fold-change in single histone mark (x-axis) and gene expression (y-axis) between mature leaf and panicle. d Dynamics of H3K4me3 modification and transcription in four tissues. Heatmaps of tissue-specific H3K4me3 and the expression levels of genes. Biological GO functions enriched for differentially regulated genes are shown. e Correlations of log2 fold-changes of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac (left panel) or H3K27me3 (right panel) between panicle and mature leaf. Color scale indicates the fold-changes of gene expression. Each dot represents the degree of change between two histones and expression levels on the same gene. Only genes with both H3K4me3 and H3K27ac (or H3K27me3) marks are plotted here. Representative examples are shown. f Log10 ratio of the observed probability that a region switches from one chromatin state (row) to another (column). g Number of CG differentially DMRs in different tissues. The numbers indicate the sample size used in the analysis. h Log10 ratio of relative CG DMR switching frequency with which a region switches from one chromatin state (row) to another (column). Source Data underlying Figs. 4c−f, h are provided as a Source Data file.
