Abstract:
An isolated polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having DNA repair activity comprising a member selected from the group consisting of:a) a polynucleotide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the % sequence identity is based on the entire coding region and is determined by the GAP algorithm under default parameters;b) a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2;c) a polynucleotide amplified from a Zea mays nucleic acid library using primers which selectively hybridize, under stringent hybridization conditions, to loci within the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1;d) a polynucleotide which selectively hybridizes, under stringent hybridization conditions and a wash in 0.1.times. SSC at 60.degree. C., to the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1;e) the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1;f) a polynucleotide which is complementary to a polynucleotide of (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e); andg) a polynucleotide comprising at least 50 contiguous nucleotides from a polynucleotide of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f).
