Abstract excerpt
Loss of genome stability leads to reduced fitness, fertility and a high mutation rate. Therefore, the genome is guarded by the pathways monitoring its integrity and neutralizing DNA lesions. To analyze the mechanism of DNA damage induction by cytidine analog zebularine, we performed a forward-directed suppressor genetic screen in the background of Arabidopsis thaliana zebularine-hypersensitive structural...
