FIGNL1 Inhibits Non-homologous Chromosome Association and Crossover Formation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Meiotic crossovers (COs) not only generate genetic diversity but also ensure the accuracy of homologous chromosome segregation. Here, we identified FIGNL1 as a new inhibitor for extra crossover formation in rice.

A recurrent translocation is mediated by homologous recombination between HERV-H elements [PDF]
Molecular Cytogenetics, 2012 Background Chromosome rearrangements are caused by many mutational mechanisms; of these, recurrent rearrangements can be particularly informative for teasing apart DNA sequence-specific factors.

Role of chromosome ends in meiotic stability, recombination and wheat evolution in the context of breeding [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyWheat is one of the most important crops worldwide, and understanding its genome organisation is crucial for geneticists and breeders. In this study, we examined the dynamic roles of telomeric and subtelomeric regions in wheat, focusing on their ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Genomic architecture facilitates chromosome recognition, pairing, and recombination. Telomeres and subtelomeres play an important role at the beginning of meiosis in specific chromosome recognition and pairing, which are critical processes that allow ...

Haploidy of somatic cells in mouse oocyte using somatic cell nuclear transfer
Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2022 Haploidization in somatic cells is the process of reducing the diploid somatic chromosomes to haploid. Several studies have attempted somatic haploidization using oocytes in mice and humans.

Formation of the synaptonemal complex in a gynogenetic allodiploid hybrid fish
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Introduction: The correct pairing and separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is crucial to ensure both genetic stability and genetic diversity within species. In allodiploid organisms, synapsis often fails, leading to sterility.

Differing requirements for RAD51 and DMC1 in meiotic pairing of centromeres and chromosome arms in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 During meiosis homologous chromosomes pair, recombine, and synapse, thus ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and the halving of ploidy necessary for gametogenesis.

Crop Journal, 2023 Autopolyploidy and allopolyploidy may represent an evolutionary advantage and are more common in plants than assumed. However, less attention has been paid to autopolyploidy than to allopolyploidy, and its evolutionary consequences are largely unclear ...

Chromosome architecture and homologous recombination in meiosis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Meiocytes organize higher-order chromosome structures comprising arrays of chromatin loops organized at their bases by linear axes. As meiotic prophase progresses, the axes of homologous chromosomes align and synapse along their lengths to form ladder ...

PLoS Genetics, 2022 The bivalent chromosomes that are generated during prophase of meiosis I comprise a pair of homologous chromosomes. Homolog pairing during prophase I must include mechanisms that avoid or eliminate entanglements between non-homologous chromosomes.
