Abstract excerpt
Understanding the initiation of meiosis and the relationship of this event with other key cytogenetic processes are major goals in studying the genetic control of meiosis in higher plants. Our genetic and structural analysis of two mutant alleles of the ameiotic1 gene (am1 and am1-praI) suggest that this locus plays an essential role in the initiation of meiosis in maize. The product of the ameiotic1 gene affects...
