DNA damage in seeds reviewed in Bioscience Reports
A new review by Wanda and Atheer highlights recent progress in research that has uncovered the importance of genome maintenance to seed...
Biochemical Journal paper
Our lab published work showing that DNA damage incurred in seeds persists into early seedling growth, reducing genome stability.
New publication in PNAS
Wanda was lead author on a new paper that showed that seeds have reduced responses to DNA damage, compared to seedlings. This might allow...
