DNA methylation analysis of the PHEL1 loci in a sexual and an apomictic Boechera line, and a proposed epigenetic model of PHEL1 regulation in sexual (sex) versus apomictic (apo) lines. (a,b) Scheme of PHEL1 loci and corresponding percent methylation identified by bisulfite-sequencing. (c) An illustration of the proposed epigenetic regulation of Arabidopsis PHE1 versus Boechera PHEL1 by DNA/histone methylation. PRC2, Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 containing the MEA histone methyltransferase.
