Controlling recombination in plant genomes to accelerate breeding
About
We investigate genetic and epigenetic control of recombination frequency in plant genomes, focusing on the model plant Arabidopsis, and the crop species wheat and tomato. We are interested in what controls recombination hotspots and cold spots, and how to create them.
