Abstract excerpt
The tight regulation of meiotic recombination between homologs is disrupted in Brassica AAC allotriploids, a genomic configuration that may have facilitated the formation of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) ∼7,500 years ago. Indeed, the presence of the haploid C genome induces supernumerary crossovers between homologous A chromosomes with dramatically reshaped distribution. However, the genetic mechanisms driving...
