Methylation of nucleotides, notably in the forms of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in DNA and N6 - methyladenosine (m6 A) in mRNA, carries important information for gene regulation. 5mC has been elucidated to participate in the regulation of fruit ripening, whereas the function of m6 A in this process and the interplay between 5mC and m6 A remain uncharacterized. |
