  1. A forward genetic screen to identify factors that control meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Meiotic recombination promotes genetic variation by reciprocal exchange of genetic material producing novel allelic combinations that influence important agronomic traits in crop plants. Therefore, harnessing meiotic recombination has the potential to accelerate crop improvement via classical …
