Effective RNAi-Mediated Silencing of the <i>Mismatch Repair MSH2</i> Gene Induces Sterility of Tomato Plants but Not an Increase in Meiotic Recombination
In plant breeding, the ability to manipulate meiotic recombination aids in the efficient construction of new allelic compositions of chromosomes and facilitates gene transfer from wild relatives of crop plants. The DNA mismatch repair system antagonizes meiotic recombination. In this research, a tri...
