摘要： Callus induction is a dedifferentiation process that accompanies a cell fate transition, and epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in the process. N-6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is an important mechanism in post-transcriptional epigenetic regulation and functions in cell reprogramming. However, the function of m6A methylation during callus induction is still unknown. Here, we performed transcriptome-wide m6A-seq on immature maize embryos after culturing for 2, 4, or 8 days with or without the auxin analogue 2,4-D. A total of 26,794 unique m6A peaks were detected from 17,456 maize genes; and 2,338 specific, 2,4-D-induced m6A peaks (D-specific m6A) were detected only in embryos cultured with 2,4-D. Furthermore, a positive correlation between m6A methylation and mRNA abundance was discovered in the genes with D-specific m6A deposition, especially at the beginning of callus induction. Key genes involved in callus induction, i.e. BABY BOOM and LBD transcription factors, underwent m6A methylation, increasing their transcript levels, thus improving callus induction. These results revealed the importance of m6A methylation during the early stage of callus induction and provided new insights into the molecular mechanism of callus induction at an epitranscriptomic level.
