Abstract excerpt
Recombination shuffles alleles during meiosis, driving genetic diversity and shaping the outcomes of breeding programs. By breaking the physical links between loci, recombination facilitates the creation of new allelic combinations that can be selected for to improve genetic gain. Increasing the recombination rate by methods such as genome editing has become a goal for accelerating breeding. However, the effect...
