Flipping the switch on some of the slowest mutating genomes: Direct measurements of plant mitochondrial and plastid mutation rates in <i>msh1</i> mutants
2025-01-12
Abstract excerpt
Plant mitochondrial and plastid genomes have exceptionally slow rates of sequence evolution, and recent work has identified an unusual member of the MutS gene family (“plant MSH1 ”) as being instrumental in preventing point mutations in these genomes. However, the eXects of disrupting MSH1 -mediated DNA repair on “germline” mutation rates have not been quantified. Here, we used Arabidopsis thaliana mutation ac...
