Meiosis halves diploid chromosome numbers to haploid levels that are essential for sexual
reproduction in most eukaryotes. Meiotic recombination ensures the formation of bivalents …

Histone acetylation regulates gene transcription by chromatin modifications and plays a
crucial role in the plant development and response to environment cues. The homeostasis of …

Meiosis involves reciprocal exchange of genetic information between homologous
chromosomes to generate new allelic combinations. In cereals, the distribution of genetic …

During sexual reproduction, one-half of the genetic material is deposited in gametes, and a
complete set of chromosomes is restored upon fertilization. Reduction of the genetic …

The life cycle of flowering plants is marked by several post-embryonic developmental
transitions during which novel cell fates are established. Notably, the reproductive lineages …

Meiotic recombination is tightly regulated by cis-and trans-acting factors. Although DNA
methylation and chromatin remodeling affect chromosome structure, their impact on meiotic …

Background Histone post-translational modifications (HPTMs) including acetylation and
methylation have been recognized as playing a crucial role in epigenetic regulation of plant …

Histone acetylation is highly conserved across eukaryotes and has been linked to gene
activation since its discovery nearly 60 years ago. Over the past decades, histone …

Background Modification of histone acetylation is a ubiquitous and reversible process in
eukaryotes and prokaryotes and plays crucial roles in the regulation of gene expression …

Meiotic recombination increases genetic diversity and manipulation of its frequency and
distribution holds great promise in crop breeding. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FANCM (a …
