Abstract excerpt
Although meiosis is evolutionarily conserved, many of the underlying mechanisms show species-specific differences. These are poorly understood in large genome plant species such as barley (Hordeum vulgare) where meiotic recombination is very heavily skewed to the ends of chromosomes. The characterization of mutant lines can help elucidate how recombination is controlled. We used a combination of genetic...
