Abstract

Uracil-DNA glycosylase activity of dividing Allium cepa root cells correlates with the rate of cell proliferation. In non-dividing cells this DNA repair activity depends on the potential capacity of the cells to proliferate: dormant cells have a high uracil-DNA glycosylase activity, as high as proliferating cells, whereas differentiated cells show a sharp decrease in their capacity to remove uracil from DNA.
