Fig. 3From: Genome-wide identification and characterization of lncRNAs in sunflower endospermDNA methylation profiles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and protein-coding genes (PCgenes) in sunflower endosperm. A-C Average DNA methylation levels of lncRNAs (blue lines) and PCgenes (red lines) in YS1 endosperm; D-F Association between DNA methylation and lncRNA expression in CG, CHG and CHH sequence contexts throughout the gene body and its 2-kb up- and downstream regions in YS1 endosperm. G, H Two examples of DNA methylation and gene expression at the PCgene (g) and lncRNA (f) were displayed, respectively. The expression level of transcribed regions is shown in green; The DNA methylation level of transcribed regions is shown in redBack to article page
