Fresh leaves were cut into 2-cm pieces and fixed with 2% formaldehyde. Hi-C library construction was performed as previously described23 (link). In brief, genomic DNA was extracted, and the fixed chromatin was digested by DpnII, followed by a fill-in reaction with biotinylated nucleotides and proximity ligation. The DNA was purified and then sheared into ~ 350-bp fragments using a Covaris S220 device. The DNA fragments were subjected to blunt-end repair, A-tailing, Illumina paired-end adapter ligation and PCR amplification. The Hi-C library was sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq PE150 instrument.
