A separation-of-function ZIP4 wheat mutant allows crossover between related chromosomes and is meiotically stable

Abstract Many species, including most flowering plants, are polyploid, possessing multiple genomes. During polyploidisation, fertility is preserved via the evolution of mechanisms to control the behaviour of these multiple genomes during meiosis. On the polyploidisation of wheat, the major meiotic g...
