Spaceflight-induced changes in astronaut telomeres have garnered significant attention in
recent years. While plants represent an essential component of future long-duration space …

Heavy‐ion irradiation is a powerful mutagen that possesses high linear energy transfer
(LET). Several studies have indicated that the value of LET affects DNA lesion formation in …

Ionising radiotherapy is a well-established, effective cancer treatment modality, whose
efficacy has improved with the application of newer technological modalities. However …

Genetic variations are an important source of germplasm diversity, as it provides an allele
resource that contributes to the development of new traits for plant breeding. Gamma rays …

In Arabidopsis, DNA damage-induced programmed cell death is limited to the meristematic
stem cell niche and its early descendants. The significance of this cell-type-specific …

To investigate the involvement of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway in plant
mutagenesis by ionizing radiation, we conducted a genome-wide characterization of the …

With current technologies, radiation doses associated with exploration and habitation
missions to the Moon and Mars may well exceed the limits currently defined for LEO …

ABSTRACT The Cosmic Ray Exposure Sequencing Science (CRESS) payload system was
a proof of concept experiment to assess the genomic impact of space radiation on seeds …

Although modern radiation therapy delivers a localized distribution of ionizing energy that
can be used to cure primary cancers for many patients, the inevitable radiation exposure to …

Ionizing radiation (IR) is regarded as an abiotic stressor for plants because it causes
oxidative stress and changes the expression of genes. We investigated RNA sequencing …
