Abstract excerpt
Meiotic crossovers/chiasmata, that are required to ensure chromosome disjunction, arise via the class I interference-dependent pathway or via the class II interference-free pathway. The proportions of these two classes vary considerably between different organisms. In Arabidopsis, about 85% of chiasmata are eliminated in Atmsh4 mutants, denoting that these are class I events. In budding and fission yeasts...
