Analysis of the impact of the absence of RAD51 strand exchange activity in Arabidopsis meiosis. by Gunjita Singh, Olivier Da Ines, Maria Eugenia Gallego, Charles I White

“…Although the presence of RAD51 protein provides essential support for the action of DMC1, our results show no significant effect of the absence of RAD51 strand-exchange activity on meiotic crossing-over rates or patterns in different chromosomal regions or across the whole genome of Arabidopsis, strongly supporting the argument that DMC1 catalyses repair of all meiotic DNA breaks, not only non-sister cross-overs.…”
