Conserved DNA-damage responses (DDRs) efficiently cope with replication blocks and double-strand breaks (DSBs) in cultured eukaryotic cells; DDRs in tissues remain poorly understood. DDR-inactivating mutations lethal in animals are tolerated in Arabidopsis, whose root meristem provides a powerful stem-cell-niche model. We imaged UVB-induced death of specific meristem cells in single and double Arabidopsis...
Chromosomal rearrangements may complicate construction of Arabidopsis with multiple TDNA-insertion mutations. Here, crossing two lines homozygous for insertions in AtREV3 and AtPOLH (chromosomes I and V, respectively) and selfing F1 plants yielded non-Mendelian F2 genotype distributions: frequencies of +/++/+ and 1/1 2/2 progeny were only 0.42 and 0.25%. However, the normal development and fertility...
In tissues of multicellular organisms, DNA lesions that block replication can disrupt division of the transiently amplifying (TA) cells and stem cells that drive growth. To study how tissue growth is maintained despite DNA damage, stem cells and other cell types must be clearly identifiable. In plants, root growth depends directly on cell divisions in the root meristem. In Arabidopsis thaliana, cell...
