The MRM quantification proposed here of cytosine-containing nucleosides using their proton-bound homo-dimers as precursor ions proved its utility for the assessment of global methylation of DNA and RNA in plants under stress imposed by CuO NPs. Detection of copper adducts with cytosine-containing ions, and their elimination by washing extracts with Cu(I) chelator, calls for further investigation.
