Telomere Distribution and Dynamics in Somatic and Meiotic Nuclei of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
The ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes are protected by the telomere, a specialised nucleoprotein complex. The primary role of the telomere is to protect the chromosome ends from being degraded or recognised and processed as double strand breaks. Additionally, the telomeres are involved in interphase chromosome organisation and also in chromosome pairing, synapsis and movement during meiotic prophase. The main...
