Meiosis is the cell division that reshuffles genetic information between generations. Recently, much progress has been made in understanding this process; in particular, the identification and functional analysis of more than 80 plant genes involved in meiosis have dramatically deepened our knowledge of this peculiar cell division. In this review, we provide an overview of advancements in the understanding of all aspects of plant meiosis, including recombination, chromosome synapsis, cell cycle control, chromosome distribution, and the challenge of polyploidy.

Meiosis : recombination and the control of cell division

Archive ouverte | Jenczewski, Eric | CCSD

Meiosis is a key step in sexual reproduction.. It is required for the production of gametes, consequently fertility, and generates diversity by scrambling parental genotypes. Thus, it is central to plant genome evolution The last ...

Sex-Specific Crossover Distributions and Variations in Interference Level along Arabidopsis thaliana Chromosome 4

Archive ouverte | Drouaud, Jan | CCSD

In many species, sex-related differences in crossover (CO) rates have been described at chromosomal and regional levels. In this study, we determined the CO distribution along the entire Arabidopsis thaliana Chromosome 4 (18 Mb) i...

AAA-ATPase FIDGETIN-LIKE 1 and helicase FANCM antagonize meiotic crossovers by distinct mechanisms

Archive ouverte | Girard, Chloé | CCSD

Meiotic crossovers (COs) generate genetic diversity and are critical for the correct completion of meiosis in most species. Their occurrence is tightly constrained but the mechanisms underlying this limitation remain poorly unders...
