Abstract excerpt
Polyploidy plays a key role in genome evolution and crop improvement. The formation of bivalents rather than multivalents during meiosis of polyploids is essential to ensure meiotic stability and optimal fertility of the species. However, the mechanisms preventing multivalent recombination in polyploids remain obscure. We studied the role of the synaptonemal complex in polyploid meiosis by mutating the transverse...
