Figure 3From: Correlation between DNA methylation and chronological age of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla var. pubescens)The relationship between chronological age and DNA methylation level of Moso bamboo. Using the integrated data from each primer pair, a quadratic curve was fitted using the SPSS software with an equation of Z = 0.034y2 + 0.828y - 27.762, where P(Q) < 0.01 and R2(Q) = 0.942. Z indicates the chronological age (x axis), y indicates the DNA methylation rate based on the integrated factor (y axis). Data for the nine ages are shown with ○.Back to article page
