Analysis of tissue-specific mCHH islands. a Boxplots of the distances from shoot-specific and tassel-specific mCHH islands to TSS. b The correlation between gene expression and nearby TE methylation with or without the presence of mCHH islands. c Profiles of DNA methylation levels in shoot and tassel around mCHH islands that are hyper-methylated in shoots. d Abundance of MNase-seq reads around mCHH islands and TSS. e Abundance of 21nt- and 24nt-siRNAs around mCHH islands in shoots. f Correlation analysis of 21nt- and 24nt-siRNA peaks with the distribution of tissue-specific mCHH islands. g GRMZM2G103559, harboring an mCHH island in shoots, is more highly expressed in shoots. The mCHH island is located between two nucleosome-occupied regions and both 21nt- and 24nt-siRNAs complementary to mCHH islands are expressed in the shoots
