A novel allele of ASY3 promotes meiotic stability in autotetraploid Arabidopsis lyrata

P. J. Seear, M. G. France, C. L. Gregory, D. Heavens, R. Schmickl, L. Yant, J. D. Higgins

This study identifies a novel ASY3 allele that enhances meiotic stability in autotetraploid Arabidopsis lyrata by altering crossover distribution and reducing meiotic crossovers.
