Meiotic recombination driven by Crossing-Over (CO) is a limiting factor for the efficiency of
plant breeding. One way to produce hyper-recombinant plants is to use the existing …

Simple Summary The selection of varieties more resilient to disease and climate change
requires generating new genetic diversity for breeding. The main mechanism for reshuffling …

Meiosis is a specialized cell division, essential in most reproducing organisms to halve the
number of chromosomes, thereby enabling the restoration of ploidy levels during …

Meiotic recombination is crucial for assuring proper segregation of parental chromosomes
and generation of novel allelic combinations. As this process is tightly regulated, identifying …

Meiotic recombination by crossovers (COs) is tightly regulated, limiting its key role in
producing genetic diversity. However, while COs are usually restricted in number and not …

Meiosis generates genetic variation through homologous recombination (HR) that is
harnessed during breeding. HR occurs in the context of meiotic chromosome axes and the …

Novelty is the primary requirement and breeding target for plant breeding, which can make a
significant contribution to the new cultivar. The key factor for successful breeding is the …

Meiotic homologous recombination generates new combinations of preexisting genetic
variation and is a crucial process in plant breeding. Within the last decade, our …

Arabidopsis has emerged as an excellent system for meiosis research due to the
development of powerful cytological, genetical and molecular methodologies combined with …

Key message Cytological observations of chromosome pairing showed that evolutionarily
genome duplication might reshape non-homologous pairing during meiosis in haploid B …
