Ribonucleotide and R-Loop Damage in Plastid DNA and Mitochondrial DNA during Maize Development

Although the temporary presence of ribonucleotides in DNA is normal, their persistence represents a form of DNA damage. Here, we assess such damage and damage defense to DNA in plastids and mitochondria of maize. Shoot development proceeds from meristematic, non-pigmented cells containing proplastid...
