Abstract

The seeds of two varieties of barley (Horedeum vulgare L.), Klimek and Rataj were irradiated with three doses of laser radiation. The semi-specific primers targeting consensus sequences of intron-exon junction of plant genes were used for PCR analysis of DNA prepared from seedlings of these varieties. The comparison of amplification profiles of DNA fragments of both varieties revealed distinct polymorphism between control seedlings and seedlings from the laser treated seeds. The obtained results indicate, that the irradiation of seeds generates some changes of DNA structure, which appear during vegetative growth of plants. The persistence of some changes on DNA level suggests the mutagenic effects of laser radiation.
