Abstract
Plant tissues are capable of developing unorganized cell masses termed calluses in response to the appropriate combination of auxin and cytokinin. Revealing the potential epigenetic mechanisms involved in callus development can improve our understanding of the regeneration process of plant cells, which will be beneficial for overcoming regeneration recalcitrance in peach. In this study, we report on single-base resolution mapping of DNA methylation and reprogramming of the pattern of trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) at the genome-wide level during the leaf-to-callus transition in peach. Overall, mCG and mCHH were predominant at the genome-wide level and mCG was predominant in genic regions. H3K27me3 deposition was mainly detected in the gene body and at the TSS site, and GAGA repetitive sequences were prone to recruit H3K27me3 modification. H3K27me3 methylation was negatively correlated with gene expression. In vitro culture of leaf explants was accompanied by DNA hypomethylation and H3K27me3 demethylation, which could activate auxin- and cytokinin-related regulators to induce callus development. The DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine could significantly increase callus development, while the H3K27me3 demethylase inhibitor GSK-J4 dramatically reduced callus development. These results demonstrate the roles of DNA methylation and H3K27me3 modification in mediating chromatin status during callus development. Our study provides new insights into the epigenetic mechanisms through which differentiated cells acquire proliferative competence to induce callus development in plants.

Abstract
For multicellular organisms, it is essential to produce a variety of specialized cells to perform a dazzling panoply of functions. Chromatin plays a vital role in determining cellular identities, and it dynamically regulates gene expression in response to changing nutrient metabolism and environmental conditions. Intermediates produced by cellular metabolic pathways are used as cofactors or substrates for chromatin modification. Drug analogues of metabolites that regulate chromatin‐modifying enzyme reactions can also regulate cell fate by adjusting chromatin organization. In recent years, there have been many studies about how chromatin‐modifying drug molecules or metabolites can interact with chromatin to regulate cell fate. In this review, we systematically discuss how DNA and histone‐modifying molecules alter cell fate by regulating chromatin conformation and propose a mechanistic model that explains the process of cell fate transitions in a concise and qualitative manner.
