Meiotic defects in the Arabidopsis rad50 mutant point to conservation of the MRX complex function in early stages of meiotic recombination.
The Rad50, Mre11 and Xrs2/Nbs1 proteins, which form the highly conserved MRX complex, perform a wide range of functions concerning the maintenance and function of DNA in eukaryotes. These include recombination, DNA repair, replication, telomere homeostasis and meiosis. Notwithstanding the attention...
