  • Increase in meiotic recombination in plants by inhibiting an RECQ4 or TOP3A protein of the RTR complex
    Patent number: 10920237
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for increasing the frequency of meiotic recombination in plants, by inhibiting the RECQ4 or TOP3A protein, especially by mutagenesis or extinction of the RECQ4 or TOP3A gene coding for said protein. The invention can be used especially in the field of plant breeding and genetic mapping.
    Type: Grant
