SNP genotyping arrays have been useful for many applications that require a large number
of molecular markers such as high-density genetic mapping, genome-wide association …

Breeding programs face the challenge of integrating information from genomics and from
quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis in order to identify genomic sequences controlling the …

Genetic architecture of flowering time in maize was addressed by synthesizing a total of 313
quantitative trait loci (QTL) available for this trait. These were analyzed first with an overview …

We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea,
Gregor Mendel’s original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic …

In most species, crossovers (COs) are essential for the accurate segregation of homologous
chromosomes at the first meiotic division. Their number and location are tightly regulated. …

Background In sexually reproducing organisms, meiotic crossovers ensure the proper
segregation of chromosomes and contribute to genetic diversity by shuffling allelic combinations. …

In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the crossover (CO) frequency increases gradually from the
centromeres to the telomeres. However, little is known about the factors affecting both the …

Meiotic chromosome pairing involves not only recognition of homology but also juxtaposition
of entire chromosomes in a topologically regular way. Analysis of filamentous fungus …

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 …

Some dandelions are diplosporous gametophytic apomicts. In order to study the inheritance
and breakdown of apomixis, crosses were made between diploid sexuals and triploid …
