Abstract excerpt
To investigate the involvement of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway in plant mutagenesis by ionizing radiation, we conducted a genome-wide characterization of the mutations induced by gamma rays in NHEJ-deficient Arabidopsis mutants (AtKu70-/- and AtLig4-/-). Although both mutants were more sensitive to gamma rays than the wild-type control, the AtKu70-/- mutant was slightly more sensitive than the...
