Association between ripening-induced siRNA decrease and DNA hypomethylation. a Size distribution of sequenced strawberry small RNAs. Two biological replicates of Fa1 and Fa3 are shown. b Average profile and heatmaps showing 24-nt siRNA distribution surrounding genes (left) and TEs (right). c Hypo-DMRs are significantly associated with siRNA clusters as compared to random genomic regions (***P value < 0.01, as determined using Fisher’s exact test). d Profiles of DNA methylation (left panel) and siRNA (right panel) surrounding genes in Fa1 and Fa3. Two biological replicates of Fa1 and Fa3 are shown. e Change of CHH methylation surrounding siRNA downregulated regions (left) and change of 24-nt siRNA level surrounding hypo-DMRs (right) on average
