Expression of genes involved in DNA methylation. a Phylogenetic analysis of DNA methyltransferase genes in strawberry and Arabidopsis. b Heatmap showing transcript levels of DNA methyltransferase genes in Fa1~Fa3 (*adjusted P value < 0.05, as determined using the DESeq). c Transcript levels of genes involved in the RdDM pathway in Fa1~Fa3. A brief working model of RdDM pathway is shown on the left. Pol IV (RNA polymerase IV), RDR2 (RNA-Dependent RNA polymerase 2), and DCLs (DICER-LIKES) are required for siRNA biogenesis; Pol V, AGO4/6 (ARGONAUTE 4/6), and DRM2 are involved in siRNA-guided DNA methylation. NRPD1 and NRPE1 are the largest subunits of Pol IV and Pol V respectively. Heatmap (right panel) shows transcript levels of genes involved in RdDM pathways (* adjusted P value < 0.05, as determined using the DESeq)
