Mitochondrial DNA Repair in an <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> Uracil N-Glycosylase Mutant

Substitution rates in plant mitochondrial genes are extremely low, indicating strong selective pressure as well as efficient repair. Plant mitochondria possess base excision repair pathways; however, many repair pathways such as nucleotide excision repair and mismatch repair appear to be absent. In...
