Abstract excerpt
Although ionizing radiation has been employed as a mutagenic agent in plants, the molecular mechanism(s) of the mutagenesis is poorly understood. AtPolζ, AtRev1 and AtPolη are Arabidopsis translesion synthesis (TLS)-type polymerases involved in UV-induced mutagenesis. To investigate the role of TLS-type DNA polymerases in radiation-induced mutagenesis, we analyzed the mutation frequency in AtPolζ-, AtRev1- or...
