Genetic recombination in plants.

چکیده
Meiotic recombination generates novel allelic arrays on chromosomes. Recent experiments have revealed an extraordinarily nonrandom distribution of recombination breakpoints along the lengths of plant chromosomes; for example, recombination breakpoints often resolve within genic sequences, and thereby generate novel alleles. The mechanism by which recombination breakpoints are determined is an area of active investigation. In addition, recent developments are providing recombination-based technologies for creating targeted alterations in the architecture of plant genomes.

Comparing cytogenetic effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields in Brassica napus L and Zea mays L
Many biological effects of exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields(ELF-EMFs) have been documented, but little work carried out on plants. A meiotic study wasperformed on Brassica napus L as C3 plant and Zea mays L as a C4 plant exposed to electromagneticfields. Our investigations were focused on plants grown from wet pretreated seeds with3 and 10 mT for a 4 h exposure time an...
متن کاملO-36: Genome Haplotyping and Detection of Meiotic Homologous Recombination Sites in Single Cells, A Generic Method for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Background: Haplotyping is invaluable not only to identify genetic variants underlying a disease or trait, but also to study evolution and population history as well as meiotic and mitotic recombination processes. Current genome-wide haplotyping methods rely on genomic DNA that is extracted from a large number of cells. Thus far random allele drop out and preferential amplification artifacts of...
متن کاملRecent advances in plant recombination.
Recombination is an essential cellular process and a source of genetic diversity. Recent studies have demonstrated the effects of various factors (e.g. DNA sequence similarity and activation of transposons) on rates of recombination and the distribution of recombination breakpoints in plants. These studies have also provided detailed characterizations of interchromatid and interhomolog recombin...
متن کاملInterchromatid and interhomolog recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Intermolecular recombination events were monitored in Arabidopsis thaliana lines using specially designed recombination traps consisting of tandem disrupted beta-glucuronidase or luciferase reporter genes in direct repeat orientation. Recombination frequencies (RFs) varied between the different lines, indicating possible position effects influencing intermolecular recombination processes. The R...

Genetic male sterility is controlled by one pair of ressesive allele (aa) in sugar beet. This trait is used in most breeding programes. The exsistance of the character in a line or population facilitates transfer of important trait to the breeding material (for example resistance to plant disease). Also, it is possible to increase genetic diversity of monogerm populations by using genetic ma...
