A duplicated copy of the meiotic gene <i>ZIP4</i> preserves up to 50% pollen viability and grain number in polyploid wheat

2021-01-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Although most flowering plants are polyploid, little is known of how the meiotic process evolved to stabilise and preserve polyploid fertility. On wheat polyploidisation, the major meiotic gene ZIP4 on chromosome 3B duplicated onto 5B and subsequently diverged. This 5B meiotic gene copy ( TaZIP4-B2 ) was recently shown to promote homologous pairing, synapsis and crossover, and suppress homoeolo...
