A Duplicated Copy of the Meiotic Gene <i>ZIP4</i> Preserves up to 50% Pollen Viability and Grain Number in Polyploid Wheat

A Duplicated Copy of the Meiotic Gene <i>ZIP4</i> Preserves up to 50% Pollen Viability and Grain Number in Polyploid Wheat

Although most flowering plants are polyploid, little is known of how the meiotic process evolves after polyploidisation to stabilise and preserve fertility. On wheat polyploidisation, the major meiotic gene <i>ZIP4</i> on chromosome 3B duplicated onto 5B and diverged (<i>TaZIP4-B2&...
