How rapid DNA repair in plants protects genomes from internal threats

Summary

Nutrition label

90% Informative

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Nature Plants shed new light on endosymbiotic gene transfer ( EGT ) EGT is an evolutionary process in which genes from organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria are relocated into the nuclear genome.

Mutations arising from DNA insertion can disrupt essential nuclear genes and provoke harmful rearrangements.

The research expands our knowledge about plant genome evolution and has relevance to the medical field.
