Journal ArticleDOI
DNA repair mechanisms in plants: crucial sensors and effectors for the maintenance of genome integrity.
TL;DR: This review summarises the current understanding of these processes in the responses of plants to genotoxic stress and identifies how the use of new and emerging technologies can complement established physiological and ecological studies to progress the application of this knowledge in biotechnology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical Changes During Osmopriming of Leek Seeds
Journal ArticleDOI
Repairing breaks in the plant genome: the importance of keeping it together
TL;DR: This review will survey recent advances in understanding of plant responses to chromosomal breaks, including the sources of DNA damage, the detection and signalling of DSBs, mechanisms of D SB repair, the role of chromatin structure in repair, DNA damage signalling and the link between plant recombination pathways and transgene integration.
Journal ArticleDOI
A plant DNA ligase is an important determinant of seed longevity.

TL;DR: The characterization of DNA LIGASE VI, which is only found in plant species, is reported, providing evidence for the accumulation of cytotoxic DSBs in the quiescent seed and implicate AtLig6 and AtLIG4 as major determinants of Arabidopsis seed quality and longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of safeguarding genome integrity in germination and seed longevity
TL;DR: Recent studies identified that maintenance of genome integrity is particularly important to the seed stage of the plant lifecycle, revealing new insight into the physiological roles of plant DNA repair and recombination mechanisms.
