In each strain, the two TD samples digested with I (M) and II (H) were loaded and electrophoresed in a 50% polyacrylamide gel. Methylated fragments are denoted by the fact that a fragment of the I-digested sample has no corresponding fragment in the II-digested sample. The sizes from 60 bp to 600 bp are indicated by the arrows

Methylation degrees are expressed as the proportion of the methylated bands in the total bands of the I-digested samples. The average methylation degree (24.3%) for the whole genomes from the nine strains was estimated by AFLP analyses as described in the Methods, and is indicated by a dotted line. Standard deviations were calculated with the data from the nine rice strains

Methylation degrees were estimated for the fragments in these two ranges and the fragments in the full range from 60 to 500 bp. Within a 500-bp range from the elements, the proximal regions of both and are markedly methylated compared with the distal regions. This tendency was also found in the individual rice strains, as illustrated for Japonica (including A58, T65, and Nipponbare), Indica (IR36, Kasalath, and #108), and (W107, W593, and W630) along with the overall degrees
