| Abstract: | Numerous studies have demonstrated a requirement in plants for repair of DNA damage arising from either intrinsic or extrinsic sources. Investigations also have revealed a capacity for repair types of DNA damage, and conversely, identified mutants apparently defective in such repair. This article provides a concise overview of nuclear DNA repair mechanisms in higher plants, particularly those processes concerned with the repair of UV-induced lesions, and includes surveys of UV-sensitive mutants and genes implicated in DNA repair. |
