During the first meiotic division, the segregation of homologous chromosomes depends on
the physical association of the recombined homologous DNA molecules. The physical …

Plants are the source of our understanding of several fundamental biological principles. It is
well known that Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of Genetics in peas and that maize was …

Multicellular organisms result from complex developmental processes largely orchestrated
through the quantitative spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression. Yet, obtaining …

Quantitative gene regulation at the cell population level can be achieved by two
fundamentally different modes of regulation at individual gene copies. A 'digital'mode …

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes recombine at few sites of crossing-overs (COs)
to ensure correct segregation. The initiation of meiotic recombination involves the formation …
