Objective: To investigate the DNA methylation level and pattern changes of Andrographis paniculata under continuous cropping conditions. Method: DNA methylation level and patterns of A. paniculata samples continuously cropped for 0
1
2 years in sheltered pots were determined by using methylation-sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Result: The DNA methylation level detected by LC-MS/MS was 13.91%
12.72%
10.26%
and 10.16%
9.64%
8.98% determined by MSAP. Both results indicated that the DNA methylation level of A. paniculata had a gradual decreasing tendency with the increase of the continuous cropping years. MSAP analysis also showed that demethylation was present at CCGG sites of genomic DNA during the continuous cropping process. Conclusion: DNA methylation level and pattern of A. paniculata were changed to response to the continuous cropping stress.
