Telomerase activity in plant cells
12 Aug 1996
Abstract excerpt
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme which elongates the G-rich strand of telomeric DNA to compensate for the progressive reduction in its length due to incomplete replication of chromosome ends, which in human somatic cells leads to cell cycle arrest upon shortening of telomeres to a critical length. To examine the possible involvement of telomerase in metabolism of plant genetic material, we used cells of...
