Eukaryotic cells require orchestrated communication between nuclear and organellar
genomes, perturbations in which are linked to stress response and disease in both animals …

One of the major cell fate transitions in eukaryotes is entry into meiosis. While in single-
celled yeast this decision is triggered by nutrient starvation, in multicellular eukaryotes, such …

In multicellular organisms, the entry into meiosis is a complex process characterized by
increasing meiotic specialization. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we reconstructed the …

Meiotic crossovers (COs) are not uniformly distributed across the genome. Factors affecting
this phenomenon are not well understood. Although many species exhibit large differences …

Faithful meiotic progression ensures the generation of viable gametes. Studies suggested
the male meiosis of plants is sensitive to ambient temperature, but the underlying molecular …

High temperatures interfere with meiotic recombination and the subsequent progression of
meiosis in plants, but few genes involved in meiotic thermotolerance have been …

Although plants are able to withstand a range of environmental conditions, spikes in ambient
temperature can impact plant fertility causing reductions in seed yield and notable economic …

During meiosis, the formation of crossovers (CO s) generates genetic variation and provides
physical links that are essential for accurate chromosome segregation. CO s occur in the …

Seeds provide up to 70% of the energy intake of the human population, emphasizing the
relevance of understanding the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms controlling seed …

Abstract RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) provides invaluable knowledge on developmental
pathways and the effects of mutant phenotypes. Plant reproductive cells have traditionally …
