The authors present convincing data to validate abscisic acid-induced dimerisation to induce a synthetic spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) arrest that will be of particular importance to analyse ...

In the choreography of meiosis—the process responsible for sex cell division in all eukaryotic life—the pairing of homologous chromosomes (homologs) is essential. Errors in this process can lead to an ...

Cells in developing ovaries or testes support germ cells, which are central to sexual reproduction. These supporting cells are thought to send the signals that determine the fate of germ cells. One of ...

High-resolution images show excess DNA double-strand breaks formed in DEHP-exposed nuclei destined to become egg cells. Mid-pachytene nuclei (chromosomes in blue) in germlines dissected from control ...
