Abstract excerpt
Genes at the maize Rp1 rust resistance complex often mispair in meiosis, which allows genes to recombine unequally, creating recombinant haplotypes. Four recombinant haplotypes were identified from progeny of an Rp1-D/Rp1-I heterozygote that conferred a nonparental resistance specificity designated Rp1-I*. Sequence comparisons of paralogs in the recombinant and parental haplotypes demonstrated that all four...
