Rhynchospora tenuis undergoes obligate, genome-wide achiasmy in both male and female meiosis.

Centromeres in Arabidopsis thaliana evolve through frequent insertions and deletions of repeat units and increased rates of point mutations driven by homology-directed repair, a mutation spectrum that is sufficient to generate and maintain large homogenized tandem-repeat blocks.

Die Schnabelriede vermehrt sich zwar geschlechtlich, doch die Nachkommen sind praktisch identisch mit der Mutter. Das könnte für die Pflanzenzucht interessant werden

Sexual reproduction usually reshuffles genetic information, creating offspring that differ from their parents. But one small plant takes an unexpected route.

For farmers and consumers to reap the benefits, guidelines for farming gene-edited plants must be implemented with careful thought.

The genome of Arabidopsis thaliana consists of 10 chromosomes. By inducing CRISPR-Cas–mediated breaks at subcentromeric and subtelomeric sequences, we fused entire chromosome arms, obtaining two eight...
