Plant Imaging Expert Group: Understanding the mechanism and regulation of meiotic recombination to accelerate theproduction of climate-resilient crops

Please join us on Wednesday, October 28, at 13:00 CET, for a session featuring the mechanism and regulation of meiotic recombination to accelerate the production of climate-resilient crops.

In most sexually reproducing organisms, germ cells are programmed to form numerous DNA double-strand breaks, creating novel patterns of genetic variation. While this process drives genome evolution, it also makes germ cells vulnerable to environmental stress. 

We will welcome Christophe Lambing from Rothamsted Research who will present data showing how studying meiotic recombination can support breeding and create climate-resilient crops.
