Abstract excerpt
Telomeres have the paradoxical ability of protecting linear chromosome ends from DNA damage sensors by using these same proteins as essential components of their maintenance machinery. We have previously shown that the absence of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a central regulator of the DNA damage response, accelerates the onset of genome instability in telomerase-deficient Arabidopsis, without increasing...
