Environmental pollution, especially heavy metal pollution, is an important environmental problem all over the world. Heavy metals that accumulate in high concentrations in soil and water ecosystems are known to damage most functional biomolecules such as DNA, RNA and protein in living organisms and cause genotoxicity. For example, cadmium heavy metal is one of the heavy metals that negatively affect plant growth and development. The aim of this study is to determine the methylcytosine level in the sunflower plant genome and the changes in the methylation pattern under cadmium stress. The purpose of this study is to determine the methylcytosine level in the sunflower plant genome and the changes in the methylation pattern under cadmium stress. Sunflower seeds were grown with different concentrations of cadmium heavy metal solution (20 to 1280 ppm) for 3 weeks. According to the data obtained in the study, as the cadmium concentration increased, the growth and development of sunflower seedlings decreased. After detecting DNA band variations by RAPD analysis, methylcytosine levels in the sample genome were determined by CRED-RA technique. As a result of RAPD analysis, the highest GTS rate was 87.83% at 20 ppm cadmium concentration and the lowest rate was 81.75% at 320 ppm. Four different methylation patterns (Type I-IV) were determined according to the CRED-RA analysis. As a result of the study, significant changes in the DNA methylation pattern were observed by CRED-RA analysis in the sunflower genome exposed to cadmium heavy metal stress.

Çevre kirliliği, özellikle ağır metal kirliliği, tüm dünyada önemli bir çevre sorunudur. Toprak ve su ekosistemlerinde yüksek konsantrasyonlarda biriken ağır metallerin canlı organizmalardaki DNA, RNA ve protein gibi çoğu fonksiyonel biyomoleküle zarar verdiği ve genotoksisiteye neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Örneğin kadmiyum ağır metal, bitki büyümesini ve gelişmesini olumsuz etkileyen ağır metallerden biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ayçiçeği bitki genomundaki metilsitozin düzeyini ve kadmiyum stresi altında metilasyon modelindeki değişiklikleri belirlemektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ayçiçeği bitki genomundaki metilsitozin düzeyini ve kadmiyum stresi altında metilasyon modelindeki değişiklikleri belirlemektir. Ayçiçeği tohumları, 3 hafta boyunca farklı konsantrasyonlarda kadmiyum ağır metal çözeltisi (20 ile 1280 ppm) ile büyütüldü. Çalışmada elde edilen verilere göre kadmiyum konsantrasyonu arttıkça ayçiçeği fidelerinin büyüme ve gelişmesi azalmıştır. RAPD analizi ile DNA bandı varyasyonları tespit edildikten sonra, numune genomundaki metilsitozin seviyeleri CRED-RA tekniği ile belirlendi. RAPD analizi sonucunda, en yüksek GTS oranı 20 ppm kadmiyum konsantrasyonunda % 87.83 ve en düşük oran 320 ppm'de % 81.75 olmuştur. CRED-RA analizine göre dört farklı metilasyon modeli (Tip I-IV) belirlendi. Çalışma sonucunda kadmiyum ağır metal stresine maruz kalan ayçiçeği genomunda CRED-RA analizi ile DNA metilasyon modelinde önemli değişiklikler gözlemlendi.
