Redistribution of Meiotic Crossovers Along Wheat Chromosomes by Virus-Induced Gene Silencing

Meiotic recombination is the main driver of genetic diversity in wheat breeding. The rate and location of crossover (CO) events are regulated by genetic and epigenetic factors. In wheat, most COs occur in subtelomeric regions but are rare in centromeric and pericentric areas. The aim of this work wa...
