Ultraviolet radiation induces DNA damage products, largely in the form of pyrimidine dimers, that are both toxic and mutagenic. In most organisms, including Arabidopsis, these lesions are repaired both through a dimer-specific photoreactivation mechanism and through a less efficient light-independent mechanism. Several mutants defective in this "dark repair" pathway have been previously described. The mechanism...
