Mutlu, FatmaMutlu, Birol2024-08-042024-08-0420150254-8704https://hdl.handle.net/11616/96777In the present study, genotoxic properties of cadmium (Cd) in seedlings of wheat (Triticum vulgare L.) cultivars, chosen as cadmium tolerant (Sonmez-2001) and sensitive (Quality) seedlings, were evaluated by using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD-PCR). After cadmium treatment, significant changes were observed on RAPD profiles of these cultivars. Genomic template stability (GTS) and cluster of similarity (UPGMA) were studied. GTS rates demonstrated that cv. Quality; which is a sensitive cultivar, was more affected. Furthermore, the distinguishing specific markers between tolerant and sensitive cultivars were determined. It can be concluded that DNA polymorphisms detected by RAPD-DNA, can be considered as a powerful biomarker assay for detection of the genotoxic effects of Cd stress.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCadmiumGenomic Template StabilityGenotoxic effectsRAPDWheatArticle3636896942-s2.0-84929084383N/AWOS:000360843600004Q4
