Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Arabidopsis thaliana from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone showed altered stress responses, reduced germination, and genomic signatures of microevolution affecting DNA repair, redox signalling and cell-cycle-related genes. Chronic exposure to ionising radiation (IR) in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) has created a field experiment for plant evolution. We collected Arabidopsis thaliana seeds from a...
