Abstract excerpt
The eukaryotic radiation sensitive 51 (RAD51) gene family comprises 7 ancient paralogs that have been remarkably conserved across both plants and animals. Among these paralogs, X-ray repair cross-complementing 2 (XRCC2) plays a pivotal role in mammalian embryonic development. However, in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), disruption of its function leads to seemingly normal meiotic processes, and intriguingly,...
