A cytological framework of female meiosis in Arabidopsis Female and male meiosis often differ in many aspects, such as their duration and the frequency as well as the positioning of crossovers. However, studying female meiosis is often very challenging and ...

Six more yearsβ€”plus a lot of blood, sweat, and tearsβ€”later, we are thrilled to finally share it: a cytological framework of female meiosis in Arabidopsis!
