Telomere looping in <i>P. sativum</i> (common garden pea)

Abstract excerpt

Telomeres vary greatly in size among plants and, in most higher plants, consist of a long array of 5'-TTTAGGG-3'/3'-AAATCCC-5' (TTTAGGG) repeats. Recently, telomeric DNA in human, mouse, oxytricha, and trypanosome chromosomes have been found arranged into loops (t-loops), proposed to sequester the telomere from unwanted repair events and prevent activation of DNA damage checkpoints. We have asked whether t-loops...
