This study was aimed at investigating epigenetic changes in two Pigeonpea inbred lines (cytoplasmic male sterile 11A and fertile 303R) and their fertile F1 hybrid. We found differences in methylation levels between the two parental lines and their hybrid. Interestingly we also found the occurrence of non-additive methylation in F1 hybrid arising due to transchromosomal methylation and demethylation events. Further, we also found a negative correlation between gene expression and methylation in Pigeonpea. Overall our findings provide insights into methylome dynamics and changes in gene expression in Pigeonpea from whole genome-wide point of view
