Initiation of meiosis in budding yeast does not commit the cells for meiosis. Thus, two distinct signaling cascades may differentially regulate meiosis initiation and commitment in budding yeast.

Meiosis is at the heart of Mendelian heredity. Recently, much progress has been made in the understanding of this process, in various organisms. In the last 15 years, the functional characterization of numerous genes involved in meiosis has dramatically deepened our knowledge of key events, including recombination, the cell cycle, and chromosome ...

The Chromatin Protein DUET/MMD1 Controls Expression of the Meiotic Gene TDM1 during Male Meiosis in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Meiosis produces haploid cells essential for sexual reproduction. In yeast, entry into meiosis activates transcription factors which trigger a transcriptional cascade that results in sequential co-expression of early, middle and late meiotic genes ...

Sexual reproduction predominates among eukaryotic organisms on our planet. While debate continues over why this should be so, burgeoning genomic and functional information now allows us to begin to think reasonably about some of the events that may have occurred to make sex possible in the first place.

How to halve ploidy : lessons from budding yeast meiosis [PDF]
Maintenance of ploidy in sexually reproducing organisms requires a specialized form of cell division called meiosis that generates genetically diverse haploid gametes from diploid germ cells.

A four-factor cross between two strains of Phycomyces involving two auxotrophic, one color, and the mating type marker is described. Samples of 40 germspores from 84 individual fertile germsporangia were characterized. The results show: (i) The germspores of a germsporangium are derived from one meiosis in approximately 78% of the cases.

Use of a unique reporter cassette to examine 5´ to 3´ resection at a site specific DNA double-strand break during meiosis [PDF]
Meiotic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is initiated by the formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), which are created by Spoil protein.

Chromosome condensation in mitosis and meiosis of rye (Secale cereale L.) [PDF]
Structural investigation and morphometry of meiotic chromosomes by scanning electron microscopy (in comparison to light microscopy) of all stages of condensation of meiosis I + II show remarkable differences during chromosome condensation in mitosis and ...

Degradation of mitotic cyclins is critical for exit from mitosis. Recent studies in budding yeast address the role of cyclin degradation in meiosis. Cyclin stabilization in meiosis I interferes with anaphase I spindle disassembly but, surprisingly, does not halt progression into meiosis II.
