Moderate soil drying (MD) imposed at the post-anthesis stage significantly improves carbon reserve remobilization in rice stems, increasing grain yield. However, the methylome and transcriptome profiles of carbon reserve remobilization under MD are obscure inindicaandjaponicarice stems. Here, we generated whole-genome single-base resolution maps of the DNA methylome inindicaandjaponicarice stems. DNA methylation levels were higher inindicathan injaponicaand positively correlated with genome size. MD treatment had a weak impact on the changes in methylation levels inindica. Moreover, the number of differentially methylated regions was much lower inindica,indicating the existence of cultivar-specific methylation patterns in response to MD during grain filling. The gene encoding β-glucosidase 1, involved in the starch degradation process, was hypomethylated and up-regulated inindica, resulting in improved starch to sucrose conversion under MD treatment. Additionally, increased expression of MYBS1 transactivated the expression ofAMYC2/OsAMY2Ain bothindicaandjaponica, leading to enhanced starch degradation under MD. In contrast, down-regulated expression ofMYB30resulted in increased expression ofBMY5in both cultivars. Our findings decode the dynamics of DNA methylation inindicaandjaponicarice stems and propose candidate genes for improving carbon reserve remobilization.
