Abstract excerpt
Although meiosis plays an essential role for the survival of species in natural selection, the genetic diversity resulting from sexual reproduction impedes human-driven strategies to transmit the most suitable genomes for genetic improvement, forcing breeders to select diploid genomes generated after fertilization, that is, after the encounter of sperm and oocytes carrying unknown genomes. To determine whether...
