Association analysis of BSA-seq, BSR-seq, and RNA-seq reveals key genes involved in purple leaf formation in a tea population ().

Purple tea, rich in anthocyanins, has a variety of health benefits and is attracting global interest. However, the regulation mechanism of anthocyanin in purple tea populations has not been extensively studied. In this experiment, RNA-seq, BSA-seq, and BSR-seq were performed using 30 individuals with extreme colors (dark-purple and green) in an population of 'Zijuan' and 'Jinxuan'.

Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of Soybean Mutant and Functional Evaluation of a Homeodomain-Leucine Zipper (HD-Zip) I Gene .

DNA methylation is a major, conserved epigenetic modification that influences many biological processes. Cotyledons are specialized tissues that provide nutrition for seedlings at the early developmental stage. To investigate the patterns of genomic DNA methylation of germinated cotyledons in soybean () and its effect on cotyledon development, we performed a genome-wide comparative analysis of DNA methylation between the soybean () mutant, which has abnormal cotyledons, and its corresponding wild type (WT) by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing.
