ZmSPO11-2 is critical for meiotic recombination in maize
{{output}}
Most plant species have three or more SPO11/TOPOVIA homologs and two TOPOVIB homologs, which associate to trigger meiotic double-strand break (DSB) formation and subsequent meiotic recombination. In Zea mays L. (maize), ZmSPO11-1 and ZmMTOPVIB have been report... ...
