РЕЗЮМЕ. Метилювання ДНК – це одна з епігенетичних стратегій регуляції генів у живих організмах. У цьому дослідженні було проведено вивчення експресії трансгену синтази ізофлавону сої (GmIFS) у Т0 рослинах трансгенної пшениці на рівні РНК та рівні геністину у кінцевому продукті. T0 рослини продемонстрували відмінності експресії GmIFS. Статус метилювання проксимальних послідовностей екзогенних промотерів (35S або олеозин (OL)) у Т0 рослинах досліджували за використання бісульфітного секвенування з метою виявлення їхнього метилювання одночасно з рівнем експресії GmIFS. Результати продемонстрували, що значні експресори GmIFS T0 рослин мали високий рівень метилювання проксимальних послідовностей екзогенного промотера, а також низький рівень експресії метилтрансфераз ДНК (Mets). Відмінності в GmIFS були пов’язані з рівнем метилювання в промотерах 35S або OL. Високий рівень експресії GmIFS мав негативну кореляцію з рівнем метилювання проксимальних ділянок промотера 35S і OL. У промотері 35S рівень метилювання сайтів CpG -56 і -88 суттєво пов’язаний з експресією GmIFS і залучений до регуляції гену GmIFS. У промотері OL сайт CpG може бути залучений до регуляції GmIFS. Експресія Met3 пшениці була різною для різних T0 трансгенних рослин. Можливо, профіль її експресії пояснює регуляцію трансгену GmIFS шляхом метилювання.
