N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) modification involves the addition of a methyl group to the nitrogen atom at position six of adenine in RNA. It is the most prevalent type of dynamic internal RNA methylation modification, plays an important role in plant development and abiotic stress. The m 6 A modification is facilitated by m 6 A writers (m 6 A methyltransferases), m 6 A erasers (m 6 A demethylation enzymes), and m 6 A readers (m 6 A methylated reading proteins). In order to study the characterization and expression of m 6 A methyltransferases and demethylases in Brassica napus (rapeseed), we us...
