Abstract excerpt
External and internal environmental factors can lead to DNA breaks. DNA breaks in eukaryotic nuclear genomes have been extensively studied, but the landscape of DNA breaks in endosymbiotic organelles remains poorly understood. Here, we employed DNA end tailing and sequencing to profile DNA breaks in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plastid genome. We find that plastid DNA in cotyledons and true leaves...
