We analyzed the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular responses to plasma irradiation in fission yeast. Through gene expression analysis and the isolation of a plasma-resistant mutant, we found that pathways regulating cell division and nutrient starvation are involved in the response of fission yeast cells to plasma irradiation.
