Application of a methylation inhibitor to enhance drought resistance. a Morphological changes of cotyledons between CK and 5-Azacytidine-treated under drought stress. CK represents cotyledons without any treatments; Drought represents cotyledons under drought stress; ddH2O and 5-Azacytidine represent cotyledons injected with ddH2O and 5-Azacytidine, respectively. Two cotyledons from each treatment were selected and all showed a similar symptom. b Number of genes methylation state changed of 41 hormone- related genes. c Expression analysis of plant hormone-related genes with qRT-PCR. d The location of two Auxin-related genes. e Prediction of methylation sites of target gene CotAD_60689. Criteria: size > 100, GC Percent > 50.0, Obs/Exp > 0.6
