ABSTRACT: The differences in
satellite DNA methylation pattern of corn seedlings with various spontaneous
chromosome aberration yields and changes in methylation pattern of these DNA
sequences under different exposure modes of acute UV-C and chronic gamma-irradiations have been
investigated. The obtained
experimental data and the conducted correlation analysis demonstrated the
significant correlation between the satellite DNA methylation pattern varieties
and chromosome aberration yields under various stress exposure modes. The role of
satellite DNA methylation pattern variability and its changing in key responses
to stress such as mobile elements’ activation, cell’s passage of checkpoints, and homological
repair was discussed.
