Fig. 7: VEL3 is required for H3K9Ac to pericentromeric regions.

a Genome-wide distribution of H3K9me2, H3K27me3, and H3K9ac in Col-0 and vel3-1 (glo-globular embryo stage; mat- mature endosperm. Blue color indicates the regions marked by the indicated epigenetic modification, VEL3-direct targets by ChIP-seq and the presence of transposable elements (TEs). For H3K9ac in vel3-1 vs. Col-0, blue indicates significantly hyperacetylated regions, green hypoacetylated regions. b Percentage of total hypo- and hyperacetylated peaks in vel3-1 vs. Col-0 mature endosperm. c Percentage of differentially acetylated peaks bound by VEL3-GFP in early endosperm development. d Percentage of differentially acetylated peaks marked by H3K27me3 in mature endosperms. e Percentage of differentially acetylated peaks in transposable elements (TEs). Statistical significance was determined using Chi-Square test in c–e.
