Geome DNA was extracted with Qiagen AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit. Quantity and quality of DNA were checked using Nanodrop (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA), Qubit RNA assay (Life Technologies, NY, USA) and gel electrophoresis Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) libraries were constructed as described previously with some modifications (Chen, P.Y. et al. Physiol Genomics 45, 565-576). Briefly, about 1,000 ng genomic DNA was digested with the MspI enzyme. Digested DNA was then purified, end-repaired, and adenylated, followed by ligation to Illumina TruSeq barcode adapters (Illumina Inc, CA, USA). Fragments of 150-300 bp in size were selected, bisulfite-treated, and sequenced using an Illumina Hiseq 2500 System (Illumina Inc, CA, USA).
