Analysis of the recombination landscape of hexaploid bread wheat reveals genes controlling recombination and gene conversion frequency

Abstract Background Sequence exchange between homologous chromosomes through crossing over and gene conversion is highly conserved among eukaryotes, contributing to genome stability and genetic diversity. A lack of recombination limits breeding efforts in crops; therefore, increasing recombination r...
