Establishment of a novel method for the identification of fertilization defective mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana.

abstract：:It has been reported that changes in deoxynucleotide pool levels following exposure to UV might lead to an overestimation of the UV-induced depression in DNA synthesis as analyzed by incorporation of 3H-thymidine (1). We attempted to determine the importance of such pool effects in two ways. First, we examined the gra...
