In higher plants, male meiosis is a key process during microsporogenesis and is crucial for
male fertility and seed set. Meiosis involves a highly dynamic organization of chromosomes …

The synaptonemal complex is a tripartite proteinaceous ultrastructure that forms between
homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis in the majority of eukaryotes. It is …

Meiosis is a specialized cell division that contributes to halve the genome content and
reshuffle allelic combinations between generations in sexually reproducing eukaryotes …

FANCM suppresses crossovers in plants by unwinding recombination intermediates. In
wheat, crossovers are skewed toward the chromosome ends, thus limiting generation of …

Programmed DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation is a crucial feature of meiosis in
most organisms. DSBs initiate recombination-mediated linking of homologous …

The meiotic chromosome axis plays key roles in meiotic chromosome organization and
recombination, yet the underlying protein components of this structure are highly diverged …

During meiosis, interhomolog recombination produces crossovers and noncrossovers to
create genetic diversity. Meiotic recombination frequency varies at multiple scales, with high …

Increasing crop yields through plant breeding is time consuming and laborious, with the
generation of novel combinations of alleles being limited by chromosomal linkage blocks …

Meiosis recombines genetic variation and influences eukaryote genome evolution. During
meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) enter interhomolog repair to yield crossovers …

During meiotic prophase I, sister chromatids are arranged in a loop-base array along a
proteinaceous structure, called the meiotic chromosome axis. This structure is essential for …
