Meiosis: dances between homologs

D Zickler, N Kleckner - Annual Review of Genetics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
The raison d'être of meiosis is shuffling of genetic information via Mendelian segregation
and, within individual chromosomes, by DNA crossing-over. These outcomes are enabled …

Evolution and plasticity of genome-wide meiotic recombination rates

IR Henderson, K Bomblies - Annual review of genetics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Sex, as well as meiotic recombination between homologous chromosomes, is nearly

Plasticity of Meiotic Recombination Rates in Response to Temperature in Arabidopsis

A Lloyd, C Morgan, FC H. Franklin, K Bomblies - Genetics, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Meiosis, the specialized cell division that generates gametes, shuffles parental genomes
through homologous recombination. It was reported in Drosophila a century ago, that the …

Temperature sensitivity of DNA double-strand break repair underpins heat-induced meiotic failure in mouse spermatogenesis

K Hirano, Y Nonami, Y Nakamura, T Sato… - Communications …, 2022 - nature.com
Mammalian spermatogenesis is a heat-vulnerable process that occurs at low temperatures,
and elevated testicular temperatures cause male infertility. However, the current reliance on …

High temperatures alter cross-over distribution and induce male meiotic restitution in Arabidopsis thaliana

N De Storme, D Geelen - Communications Biology, 2020 - nature.com
Plant fertility is highly sensitive to elevated temperature. Here, we report that hot spells
induce the formation of dyads and triads by disrupting the biogenesis or stability of the radial …
