The role of RAD4/XPC and RAD7 homologues in Arabidopsis UV tolerance

, 2017
Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis and survival. However, frequent exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage DNA by inducing dipyrimidine photolesions such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6,4 pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PPs).
