文摘在自然界中,植物会遭受各种环境或内源因素导致的DNA损伤,其中DNA双链断裂(double strand breaks,DSBs)的影响最为严重,如果修复不当,将导致基因组不稳定、基因突变甚至细胞死亡。一方面,植物进化出了强大且有序的损伤修复机制,以确保其存活及正常繁衍;另一方面,基于修复过程的容错性及致突变性,T-DNA插入、基因编辑、物理诱变等技术广泛应用于动植物品种改良。相较于哺乳动物,植物DSBs修复通路及其分子机制报道较为有限。本文综述了植物对DSBs损伤的响应、主要修复途径及关键因子,介绍了通路机制尚未完全解析的替代末端连接(alternative end joining,Alt-EJ)的最新研究进展;此外,探讨了重离子束引起的植物DSBs修复特征和多途径选择,以及基于不同DSBs修复途径的基因编辑技术的研究进展,旨在为深入了解植物DSBs损伤响应及修复的分子机制和研发高效生物育种技术提供参考。
