TEs were significantly activated according to distance from genes. a TE expression levels in AzaD treated and osmet1-2 mutant rice. Class I retrotransposons and class II DNA transposons were significantly up-regulated in AzaD treated and osmet1-2 mutant rice. b CG, CHG, and CHH methylation levels of class I retrotransposons and class II DNA transposons in CK and AzaD treated rice. c Activated ratio of class I and class II TEs (left), close (distance to the nearest gene less than 2 kb) and far (distance to the nearest gene more than 2 kb) TEs (right). TEs with log2FoldChange(FPKM + 1) > 2 were defined as activated TEs. Class I and far TEs had higher activation ratios. d Distances of activated and not activated TEs from different TE families to the nearest genes. TE families were ordered according to the average distance to the closest gene. Activated TEs tended to be farther from genes. e CHH methylation level changes of close and far TEs from different families. TE families were ordered according to the average distance to closest gene. TEs in families farther from genes showed increased CHH methylation levels. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 by Student’s t-test
