Sexual reproduction relies on the generation of gametes that contain only half of the genetic material of the parental cells; this reduction in chromosome number is achieved through meiosis. Besides its role in maintaining genome size over generations, meiosis generates genetic diversity through a random selection of either the maternal or the paternal homologous chromosome and by an exchange of DNA segments between homologs by meiotic re- combination.

Our group is mainly interested in understanding the molecular regulatory mechanisms of meiosis, especially of the meiotic pairing and recombination, by using Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus as the model organisms.
