FISH landmarks reflecting meiotic recombination and structural alterations of chromosomes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The structural variations caused by tandem repeats might be one of the factors affecting meiotic recombination in wheat. Meiotic recombination aggregated two kinds of tandemly repeated clusters into the same chromosome, making the metaphase chromosome more condensed. To conclude, our study provides a robust tool to measure meiotic recombination and select parents for wheat breeding programs.
