title: [The effect of epigenetic polymorphism of corn seeds on their germination rate and resistance of seedlings under UV-C exposure].
abstract: The hypothesis on connection between various germination rates of seeds that are not in dormancy with their epigenetic polymorphism has been checked. It was shown that seedlings which were characterized with different germination rates had different methylation patterns of transcribed and satellite DNA. Different cytogenetic characteristics and their changes were observed under UV-C irradiation as well.
