A deeper knowledge of the mechanisms underlying DNA repair and maintenance of genome stability will help in improving our understanding of how plants cope with hostile environments in this era of global climate change. A comprehensive overview of the current progress on the study of the genotoxic stress response in plants will bring together valuable information for both plant biotechnologists and breeders and will help advance the translation of knowledge about the DDR in plants that could be applied to human diseases.}, title = {The Maintenance of Genome Integrity in Plants: Novel Challenges in Basic and Applied Research}, year = {2020} }
