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 …

The specialized two-stage meiotic cell division program halves a cell's chromosome
complement in preparation for sexual reproduction. This reduction in ploidy requires that in …

Accurate segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis depends on the ability of
meiotic cells to promote reciprocal exchanges between parental DNA strands, known as …

Meiotic recombination is a critical process for plant breeding, as it creates novel allele
combinations that can be exploited for crop improvement. In wheat, a complex allohexaploid …

Meiosis is a specialized cell division program that is essential for sexual reproduction. The
two meiotic divisions reduce chromosome number by half, typically generating haploid …

Sexually reproducing eukaryotes use recombination between homologous chromosomes to
promote chromosome segregation during meiosis. Meiotic recombination is almost …

Key message Chromatin state, and dynamic loading of pro-crossover protein HEI10 at
recombination intermediates shape meiotic chromosome patterning in plants. Abstract …

Plant cytogenetic studies have provided essential knowledge on chromosome behavior
during meiosis, contributing to our understanding of this complex process. In this review, we …

Meiotic crossovers are tightly restricted in most eukaryotes, despite an excess of initiating
DNA double-strand breaks. The majority of plant crossovers are dependent on class I …

Meiosis is a specialized cell division that generates haploid gametes and is critical for
successful sexual reproduction. During the extended meiotic prophase I, homologous …
