[Fractionated UV-C irradiation effects on the changes of transcribed and satellite DNA methylation profile and unstable chromosomal aberration yield].

Interaction between changes of functionally different DNA methylation pattern and chromosomal aberration yield under fractionated UV-C exposure at the doses-of 6.2-9 kJ/m2 have been investigated. Two ways of meristematic tissue renewal after irradiation have been revealed on the grounds of statistical analysis.

[Corn plant DNA methylation pattern changes upon fractional UV-C irradiation].

Relationship of changes of methylation pattern of functionally different parts of DNA and chromosomal aberration yield was studied at the conditions of the fractionating of UV-C irradiation. Combination of restriction analysis (Hpall, MspI, MboI enzymes) with the subsequent raising of PCR (internal transcribed space ITS1, 1TS4 and inter simple sequence repeat - ISSR, 14b primers) was used. The got results testify to the changes in methylation pattern of satellite and transcription active part of DNA atan irradiation in the mode of fractionating and depending on fraction time ranges.

[Structural architectonics of apical root meristems in coherence with the quantitative assessment of its damage by radiation].

The dose dependencies of the aberrant anaphases frequency in the root meristem in 48 hours after irradiation in the range of doses of 4-10 Gy is characterized by threshold and plateau at 33% aberrant anaphase. The plateau indicates the activation of the recovery processes. Topology of cell rows in the primary meristem of the dose to 8 Gy are conserved and recovered damages.

[Critical level of radiation damage of root apical meristem and mechanisms for its recovery in Pisum sativum L].

The dose dependencies of growth and cytogenetical values have been built to determine the critical level of root apical meristem damage induced by cute irradiation in the range from 2 to 20 Gr. We have analyzed the frequencies of aberrant anaphases and the aberration distribution per cell, on the one hand, and the growth of biomass, the survival and regeneration of the root meristem, on the other hand. The critical level of damage to the stem apical meristem and root of seedlings was defined as 44-48% of aberrant anaphase.

[Changes in wheat DNA methylation pattern after chronic seed gamma-irradiation].

Alterations of DNA methylation patterns of wheat two varieties--Odessa' albatross and Donetsk 48 have been studied. Seeds were irradiated for 4 months with low dose rate (3 x 10(-7) Gy/s). Six restriction endonucleases were used in the experiments.
