Triton X-100 induces heritable changes of morphological traits in Triticum aestivum L.

Changes in the organization of isozyme loci Me1 and Adh1 in-duced with triton X-100 in common wheat lines

“…This supposition is proved with the discovery of inherited changes of morphological traits [5] in line 99-19 obtained after the treatment of cultivar Alem with 0.1% Triton X-100 solution. The presence, in one and the same line, of both changes in morphological traits and PCR-profiles of enzyme loci enables us to hypothesize the thing that in the base of all these changes lie the similar processes where the significant role belongs to DNA interaction with the nuclear membrane.…”

“…We reported earlier that Triton X-100 affecting the condition of membranes and proteins connected with them caused inherited changes of morphological traits in common wheat and sugar beet plants [4][5][6]. In common wheat plants the induced changes of spike morphology are inherited within 5 generations [5].…”

“…We reported earlier that Triton X-100 affecting the condition of membranes and proteins connected with them caused inherited changes of morphological traits in common wheat and sugar beet plants [4][5][6]. In common wheat plants the induced changes of spike morphology are inherited within 5 generations [5]. This stability of changed traits arouses interest to the obtained common wheat lines from the practical and theoretical point of view and it makes the necessity for researches in molecular bases of such variability.…”

“…An important moment in the study of inherited variability is the induction of changes by means of different impacts [1][2][3][4][5][6]. It is known that inherited changes in plants may be induced, for example, by means of temperature or humidity changes and by changes of nutrition components ratio [1,7,8].…”

Effect of epimutagen Triton X-100 on morphological traits in sugarbeet

“…These changes could be retained for a longer time with large number of cell generations which suggests Triton X-100 to be used as an epimutagen of a new type. epigenetics, epimutagen, Triton X-100, inherited Keywords information coding, sugarbeet.In the recent research, it was revealed that Triton X-100, usually used as a non-polar detergent to affect the membrane structure and separate proteins from them (Barsukov, 2004), can also induce inherited changes of morphological traits in wheat (Makhmudova, 2007;Makhmudova ., 2008Makhmudova ., , 2009. et al In these experiments, spring common wheat seeds were treated with Triton X-100 0.1 % solution during germination.…”
