FANCM promotes class I interfering crossovers and suppresses class II non-interfering crossovers in wheat meiosis
Abstract
The FANCM helicase functions in limiting crossovers (COs) by unwinding inter-homolog repair intermediates. Here, the authors generate null mutants of fancm in tetraploid and hexaploid wheat and show that FANCM promotes class I interfering COs and suppresses class II noninterfering COs in wheat meiosis.
