Abstract
Epigenetic variation plays a role in developmental gene regulation and responses to the environment. An efficient interaction of zeatin-induced cytosine methylation and secondary compounds has been displayed for the first time in tissue-culture shoots/plants of lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) cultivar Erntedank in vitro (NC1, in a liquid medium; NC2, on a semi-solid medium), ex vitro (NC3, node culture-derived plants; LC1, leaf culture-derived plants) and its cutting-propagated (ED) plants. Through methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) assay, we observed highest methylated sites in leaf regenerants (LC1) from all primer combinations (108 bands), along with the highest secondary metabolites. The four types of tissue culture-derived shoots/plants (NC1, NC2, NC3, LC1) showed higher methylation bands than cutting propagated donor plants (ED) that exhibited 79 bands of methylation, which is comparatively low. Our study showed more methylation in micropropagated shoots/plants than those derived from ED plants. On the contrary, we observed higher secondary metabolites in ED plants but comparatively less in micropropagated shoots (NC1, NC2) and plants (NC3, LC1).
