Abstract: DNA methylation, an important epigenetic modification, has been confirmed to act as an important regulator of gene expression and genome stability in plants. This review aimed to analyze DNA methylation landscapes in plants by integrating genome-wide DNA methylation data from 105 plant species, among which 53 species possess quantitative methylation levels for downstream analyses. We found that the levels of DNA methylation in plants are both interspecific and tissue-specific. Environmental stresses and evolutionary processes such as polyploidization, domestication and de-domestication can influence DNA methylation levels at the whole-genome level and single-gene level, respectively. Finally, we reviewed functional genes related to DNA methylation changes and highlighted the recent technological advances in multi-omics (e.g., scBS-seq, transcriptome, 3D chromatin architecture) for an improved interpretation of DNA methylation dynamics among plants and for environmental adaptation.
