Mitochondrial dynamics can resolve stoichiometric challenges in plant mtDNA repair
Although mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is subject to damage and high mutation rates in many eukaryotes, plants have a variety of mtDNA repair pathways that somehow result in exceptionally low mutation rates. However, the stoichiometry of biomolecules in plant mitochondria raises challenges for the DNA repair process. The protein complexes responsible for repair pathways contain subunits present at…
