Seeds as emerging hotspot for maintenance of genome stability
Diaz, M., Pečinka, A.

Keywords: Seed, Genome stability, DNA damage repair, Structural maintenance of chromosome, Chromatin, Chromosome
Abstract: Seeds represent a plant developmental stage of key agronomic value. Developing seeds undergo a series of contrasting physiological environments, some of which are accompanied with spontaneous and/or programmed DNA damage. Here, we review recent literature illustrating emerging evidence on the importance of maintaining genome stability during the complex life of a seed.
