USER TALK: The Impact and Regulation of the Ribosomal RNA in Arabidopsis Meiosis

WEBINAR: The Impact and Regulation of the Ribosomal RNA in Arabidopsis Meiosis
ABSTRACT:
This webinar will discuss how homologous recombination at the highly conserved rDNA locus in Arabidopsis thaliana is tightly regulated during meiosis, a fundamental process and key to plant breeding and food security.
The rDNA locus encodes the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, which constitute the catalytic core of the ribosomes - complex and abundant molecular machines responsible for translating the genetic information from mRNAs into proteins in all living cells. By combining cytological and next generation sequencing approaches, Jason Sims and colleagues at the Max Perutz Labs found that the rDNA locus is embedded within a unique meiotic-refractory environment that is tightly controlled throughout meiotic progression.
