abnormal double-strand break processing decreased spatial extent of double-strand break processing decreased spatial extent of double-strand break processing during mitotic cell cycle 2016-11-09T14:36:22Z midori decreased spatial extent of double-strand break processing during vegetative growth reduced spatial extent of double-strand break processing decreased spatial extent of DSB processing FYPO:0005786 decreased spatial extent of double-strand break resection A cellular process phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which double-strand break processing extends for a shorter distance from the breaks site than normal. Double-strand break processing is the 5' to 3' exonucleolytic resection of the DNA at the site of the break to form a 3' single-strand DNA overhang.
