Epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling of FaCMT3-dependent strawberry fruit development
This project investigates how FaCMT3-dependent CHG methylation regulates fruit development in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Benihoppe). RNA sequencing and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing were performed across selected strawberry genotypes and fruit stages. Integrated methylome-transcriptome analyses identified loci associated with FaCMT3-dependent methylation and transcriptional regulation, including a restricted subset of SLEEPER-like genes. These datasets provide a resource for studying the epigenetic regulation of strawberry fruit development
