Comparation of Sphagneticola trilobata methylation status from different invasive areas in China Note: Each gray dot represents a sample collected from each region for MSAP detection, with a total of 15 samples collected from each region; Total methylated bands =  I + II + III + IV; Full-methylated bands = III + IV; Total methylated rate/% = [(II + III + IV)/(I + II + III + IV)] × 100%; Fully methylated rate(%) = [(III + IV)/(I + II + III + IV)] × 100%; Hemi-methylated rate (%) = [(II)/(I + II + III + IV)] × 100%; Non-methylated rate (%) = [(I)/(I + II + III + IV)] × 100%
