genome-stability
Genome stability refers to the mechanisms that protect a plant's DNA from mutations, breaks, and structural rearrangements during replication, repair, and cell division. Because plants are sessile and constantly exposed to environmental stressors like UV radiation and pathogens, robust genome maintenance systems are essential for preventing harmful mutations while still allowing the genetic variation needed for adaptation and evolution. Understanding these processes also informs how plants withstand stress and maintain healthy growth across generations.
