Sexual dimorphism and the effect of wild introgressions on recombination in cassava (<i>Manihot esculenta</i> Crantz) breeding germplasm

Abstract

AbstractRecombination has essential functions in meiosis, evolution, and breeding. The frequency and distribution of crossovers dictate the generation of new allele combinations and can vary across species and between sexes. Here, we examine recombination landscapes across the 18 chromosomes of cassava (Manihot esculentaManihot glazioviiM. glaziovii
