It has been known for several years that abnormal chromosome numbers lead to protein imbalances in the affected cells.

In other mutants, the cells grew slowly, and the telomeres experienced more severe consequences. Some telomeres were long while others were short, and they accumulated single-stranded DNA overhangs.

Researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute have discovered a previously unknown protein that is central to plant reproduction.
