Recombination between homeologous chromosomes, also known as homeologous
exchange (HE), plays a significant role in shaping genome structure and gene expression in …

Meiotic recombination generates genetic variation and provides physical links between
homologous chromosomes (crossovers) essential for accurate segregation. In cereals the …

During meiosis, crossovers (COs) create new allele associations by reciprocal exchange of
DNA. In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), COs are mostly limited to subtelomeric regions …

Allopolyploidization has occurred frequently within the Triticum–Aegilops complex which
provides a suitable system to investigate how allopolyploidization shapes the expression …

Background Sequence exchange between homologous chromosomes through crossing
over and gene conversion is highly conserved among eukaryotes, contributing to genome …

Wheat (Triticum spp.) has a narrow genetic basis due to its allopolyploid origin. However,
wheat has numerous wild relatives usable for expanding genetic variability of its genome …

It is becoming increasingly evident that interspecific hybridization at the homoploid level or
coupled with whole-genome duplication (ie allopolyploidization) has played a major role in …

Crossovers (COs) ensure accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis while creating
novel allelic combinations. Here, we show that allotetraploid (AABB) durum wheat (Triticum …

Background Polyploidization and introgression are major events driving plant genome
evolution and influencing crop breeding. However, the mechanisms underlying the higher …

A crossover (CO) and its cytological signature, the chiasma, are major features of eukaryotic
meiosis. The formation of at least one CO/chiasma between homologous chromosome pairs …
