Plants are sedentary, and so have unavoidably close contact with agents that target their genome integrity. To sense and react to these threats, plants have evolved DNA stress checkpoint mechanisms that arrest the cell cycle and activate the DNA repair machinery to preserve the genome content. Although the pathways that maintain DNA integrity are largely conserved among eukaryotic organisms, plants put different accents on cell cycle control under DNA stress and might have their own way to cope with it.
