Abstract excerpt
Crossovers (COs) ensure proper chromosome segregation during meiosis and generate genetic diversity. COs are non-uniformly distributed along chromosomes and almost universally suppressed in centromere-proximal regions, notably creating an important bottleneck for plant breeding. The mechanism of this CO suppression is still not fully understood, but the chromatin state is a contributing factor. Here we identify...
