The atspo11-1 mutation rescues atxrcc3 meiotic chromosome fragmentation.

Journal article

Homologous recombination events occurring during meiotic prophase I ensure the proper segregation of homologous chromosomes at the first meiotic division. These events are initiated by programmed double-strand breaks produced by the Spo11 protein and repair of such breaks by homologous recombination requires a strand exchange activity provided by the Rad51 protein. We have recently reported that the absence of AtXrcc3, an Arabidopsis Rad51 paralogue, leads to extensive chromosome fragmentatio...
