TaRECQ4 contributes to maintain both homologous and homoeologous recombination during wheat meiosis

Abstract

These findings provide a foundation for further molecular investigations into wheat meiosis regulation to fully understand the underlying mechanisms of how <i>TaRecQ4</i> affects chiasma formation, as well as to identify ways to mitigate these defects and enhance both homologous and homoeologous recombination efficiency in wheat.
