Integrative Analyses of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and Transcriptional Profiling in Rice during Drought-rehydration Cycle (PRJCA038069)

In this study, we construct the first single-base resolution map of 5hmC in the rice genome using ACE-seq, and investigate the dynamic conversion between the distribution of 5mC and 5hmC and gene expression under drought stress conditions. This study provides fundamental insights into the distribution patterns of 5hmC in plants, elucidates its dynamic changes under environmental stress, and offers clear evidence for 5hmC's involvement in gene expression regulation in rice.
