Abstract
- Polyploids must correctly segregate homologous chromosomes. We propose that this process is dictated not just by sequence similarity, but is also under strong genetic control that may vary between lineages. We also highlight how factors like partner availability and genome structure may influence sequence similarity needed for crossover formation.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
