Investigating the Role of the Meiotic Chromosome Axes in Mediating Crossover Designation in Wheat and Barley
2021
Meiotic crossovers are skewed towards the chromosome ends in wheat and barley. As a result, ~30% of genes rarely recombine in the 'cold regions', resulting in linkage-drag, which can be problematic for plant breeders as beneficial traits co-segregate with undesirable traits. An increase in the number of COs, or a shift in their positions, may disrupt linkage blocks and consequently benefit breeders. Pachytene Checkpoint Protein 2 (PCH2) is a conserved AAA+ ATPase, required to remodel the
