FANCM Limits Meiotic Crossovers in Brassica Crops

FANCM Limits Meiotic Crossovers in Brassica Crops

Meiotic crossovers (COs) are essential for proper chromosome segregation and the reshuffling of alleles during meiosis. In WT plants, the number of COs is usually small, which limits the genetic variation that can be captured by plant breeding programs. Part of this limitation is imposed by proteins...
