Abstract excerpt
Plants must protect themselves from a spectrum of abiotic stresses. For example, the sun is a source of heat, intense light, and DNA-damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Damaged DNA binding protein 1A (DDB1A), DDB2, and UV hypersensitive 6 (UVH6)/XPD are all involved in the repair of UV-damaged DNA - DDB1A and DDB2 in the initial damage recognition stage, while the UVH6/XPD helicase unwinds the damaged strand. We find...
