Abstract excerpt
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6) is a core component of the small RNA biogenesis pathway, but its function in meiosis is unclear. Here, we report a new allele of OsRDR6 (Osrdr6-meiosis [Osrdr6-mei]), which causes meiosis-specific phenotypes in rice (Oryza sativa). In Osrdr6-mei, meiotic double-strand break (DSB) formation is partially blocked. We created a biallelic mutant with more severe phenotypes,...
