Wijnker Erik, de Jong Hans
Abstract excerpt
Crossover recombination is a crucial process in plant breeding because it allows plant breeders to create novel allele combnations on chromosomes that can be used for breeding superior F1 hybrids. Gaining control over this process, in terms of increasing crossover incidence, altering crossover positions on chromosomes or silencing crossover formation, is essential for plant breeders to effectively engineer the...
