Cloning and characterization of the homoeologous genes for the Rec8-like meiotic cohesin in polyploid wheat

Abstract Background Meiosis is a specialized cell division critical for gamete production in the sexual reproduction of eukaryotes. It ensures genome integrity and generates genetic variability as well. The Rec8-like cohesin is a cohesion protein essential for orderly chromosome segregation in meiot...
