Abstract excerpt
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA may occur spontaneously in the cell or be induced experimentally by gamma-irradiation, and represent one of the most serious threats to genomic integrity. Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) rather than homologous recombination appears to be the major pathway for DSB repair in humans and plants, and it may also be the major route whereby T-DNA integrates into the plant genome...
