Abstract excerpt
The recombination protein RAD51 is a component of the meiotic recombination pathway and has been proposed to play a role in the homology search, a process by which homologous chromosomes find each other before they pair in the prophase of meiosis. To study the relationship between recombination and chromosome pairing, we examined the distribution of RAD51 foci on meiotic chromosomes in maize mutants with defects...
