Plant meiosis under stress

Alterations in environmental conditions, for example, temperature and UV radiation, have a huge impact on multiple meiosis processes in plants, including meiotic recombination, cytoskeleton organization, and chromosome segregation, which consequently influence genetic diversity and genome stability. Despite its importance for food security and plant evolution, the mechanisms underlying the response and/or tolerance of meiosis to abiotic stresses remain largely unknown. We have strong interests to address the questions related to plant meiossi vs. abiotic stresses.
