  - Dynamic DNA methylation represses transposable elements (TEs) and regulates gene
    activity, playing a pivotal role in plant development. Although substantial progress
    has been made in understanding DNA methylation reprogramming during germline development
    in Arabidopsis thaliana, whether similar mechanisms exist in other dicot plants
    remains unclear. Here, we analyzed DNA methylation levels in meiocytes, microspores,
    and pollens of Brassica Rapa using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). Global
    DNA methylation analysis revealed similar CHH methylation reprogramming compared
    to Arabidopsis, while distinct patterns were observed in the dynamics of global
    CG and CHG methylation in B. rapa. Differentially methylated region (DMR) analysis
    identified specifically methylated loci in the male sex cells of B. Rapa with
    a stronger tendency to target genes, similar to observations in Arabidopsis. Additionally,
    we found that the activity and genomic targeting preference of the small RNA-directed
    DNA methylation (RdDM) were altered during B. Rapa male germline development.
    A subset of long terminal repeat (LTR) TEs were activated, possibly due to the
    dynamic regulation of DNA methylation during male sexual development in B. Rapa.
    These findings provided new insights into the evolution of epigenetic reprogramming
    mechanisms in plants.@eng
