Genome damage is a threat to all organisms. To respond to such damage, DNA damage
responses (DDRs) lead to cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and cell death. Many DDR …

Crossovers create genetic diversity and are required for equal chromosome segregation
during meiosis. Crossover number and distribution are highly regulated by different …

Plants are the source of our understanding of several fundamental biological principles. It is
well known that Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of Genetics in peas and that maize was …

Genome duplication, which leads to polyploidy, poses challenges to the meiotic segregation
of the now-multiple homologous chromosome copies. Genome scan data showed …

The use of Δ8THC is increasing at present across the USA in association with widespread
cannabis legalization and the common notion that it is “legal weed”. As genotoxic actions …

Mutations affecting crossover (CO) frequency and distribution lead to the presence of
univalents during meiosis, giving rise to aneuploid gametes and sterility. These mutations …

Simple Summary Harnessing the natural and induced diversity existing in plant genetic
resources is fundamental for building future crops more sober in fertilizers, water, and …

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes recombine at few sites of crossing-overs (COs)
to ensure correct segregation. The initiation of meiotic recombination involves the formation …

Apomixis in plants is a widely existing biological phenomenon, in which seeds are formed
without egg cell and sperm uniting. Hybrid breeding exploits heterosis to obtain seeds with …

Mutations affecting crossover (CO) frequency and distribution lead to the presence of
univalents during meiosis, giving rise to aneuploid gametes and sterility. These mutations …
