Fig. 3From: The transcriptome of zinc deficient maize roots and its relationship to DNA methylation lossDNA methylation level (a) Principle component analysis (PCA) of reduced representation bisulfite sequencing cytosine methylation data. Left diagram: control condition (blue) and -Zn (green). Right diagram: zinc, nitrogen and phosphorus deficiencies, data partially from [22]. The first two PCs are shown. b Overall methylation level (in percent) in all contexts, control: blue; -Zn: green. c Average (across 5 million basepair grids) methylation level in chromosome 1 in all contexts. d Contribution of each context methylation to the total methylation level, control: left; -Zn: rightBack to article page
