Abstract:

The whole genome bisulfite sequencing(WGBS)and transcriptome sequencing(RNA-seq)techniques were used to sequence papaya fruit samples at four stages,namely green stage,color break stage,half yellow stage and full yellow stage. The average methylation level of C locus,CG,CHG,and CHH sequence contexts were 17.15%,49.33%,34.30%,and 8.28%,respectively. The level of genome-wide DNA methylation decreased with the ripening of fruit,accompanied by the increased number of differentially expressed genes(DEGs). Combined analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome data showed that the gene expression presented an obvious positive correlation with promoter and genebody methylation. Four differentially expressed candidate genes possibly responsible for papaya fruit ripening,namely CpACO4,CpPDS,CpXTH30 and CpXTH31,were screened out. Their expression levels and DMRs methylation levels obtained by RT-qPCR and McrBC-PCR matched well with the results of the transcriptome and methylome,respectively. These genes might play an important role in papaya fruit ripening.
