DNA is one of the prime molecules, and its stability is of utmost importance for proper
functioning and existence of all living systems. Genotoxic chemicals and radiations exert …

The genomic integrity of every organism is constantly challenged by endogenous and
exogenous DNA-damaging factors. Mutagenic agents cause reduced stability of plant …

Abstract Corrigendum (2004) Adiponectin (also known as 30-kDa adipocyte complement-
related protein; Acrp30),,, is a hormone secreted by adipocytes that acts as an …

Increases in ultraviolet radiation at the Earth's surface due to the depletion of the
stratospheric ozone layer have recently fuelled interest in the mechanisms of various effects …

Poly (ADP-ribosyl) ation is a post-translational modification of proteins. During this process,
molecules of ADP-ribose are added successively on to acceptor proteins to form branched …

Homologous recombination (HR) between parental chromosomes occurs stochastically.
Here, we report on targeted recombination between homologous chromosomes upon …

Owing to their sessile nature, plants are constantly exposed to a multitude of environmental
stresses to which they react with a battery of responses. The result is plant tolerance to …

▪ Abstract The biological impact of any DNA damaging agent is a combined function of the
chemical nature of the induced lesions and the efficiency and accuracy of their repair …

Genomic double-strand breaks (DSBs) are key intermediates in recombination reactions of
living organisms. We studied the repair of genomic DSBs by homologous sequences in …

There are one million molecules of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in mammalian
cell nuclei and the enzyme is found in most eukaryotes, with the notable exception of yeasts …
