Manipulation of Meiotic Recombination to Hasten Crop Improvement

Manipulation of Meiotic Recombination to Hasten Crop Improvement

Reciprocal (cross-overs = COs) and non-reciprocal (gene conversion) DNA exchanges between the parental chromosomes (the homologs) during meiotic recombination are, together with mutation, the drivers for the evolution and adaptation of species. In plant breeding, recombination combines alleles from...
