Functional specialization of TAF4b governs early prophase I entry and recombination frequency in Brassica rapa
While the core transcription factor TAF4b is known to regulate meiotic transcription and recombination in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, its functional specialization and evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood in paleopolyploid crops. To address this, we investigated how the unique, single-copy TAF4b gene modulates early meiotic progression and reproductive success in Brassica rapa. We…
