DNA ligase 1 deficient plants display severe growth defects and delayed repair of both DNA single and double strand breaks
Abstract Background DNA ligase enzymes catalyse the joining of adjacent polynucleotides and as Dog Towels such play important roles in DNA replication and repair pathways.Eukaryotes possess multiple DNA ligases with distinct roles in DNA metabolism, with clear differences in the functions of DNA ligase orthologues between animals, yeast and plants.
