In this study, 5mC content and methylation level increased along with the growth of Rehmannia glutinosa, but degree of DNA methylation was different in leaf and root, and hemi-methylation level was both higher than full-methylation level in leaf or root, which was very significant in root. Furthermore, 5-azaC could inhibit DNA methylation of R. glutinosa, compared with the control, although 5mC content was less and showed a decreasing trend along with the increase of 5-azaC concentration, it still increased along with the growth of R. glutinosa and reached the peak in Stage IV. In addition, as treated with 5-azaC, DNA methylation of R. glutinosa had significant polymorphism, methylation status would change and appear significant demethylation, and degree of DNA demethylation increased along with the increasing concentration of 5-azaC. Further analysis found, under the treatment of 5-azaC, plant height and leaf length were both lower than the control, still increased along with the growth of R. glutinosa, however phenotype of R. glutinosa could not appear significant change along with the increase of 5-azaC concentration. Thus, under the reduction of DNA methylation, R. glutinosa appeared obvious dwarfing phenomenon with smaller leaf, indicating moderate demethylation could inhibit growth and development of R. glutinosa, which might be closely related to the status of genomic DNA methylation.
