Meiosis is at the heart of Mendelian heredity. Recently, much progress has been made in the understanding of this process, in various organisms. In the last 15 years, the functional characterization of numerous genes involved in meiosis has dramatically deepened our knowledge of key events, including recombination, the cell cycle, and chromosome distribution. Through a constantly advancing tool set and knowledge base, a number of advances have been made that will allow manipulation of meiosis from a plant breeding perspective. This review focuses on the aspects of meiosis that can be tinkered with to create and propagate new varieties. We would like to dedicate this review to the memory of Simon W. Chan (1974-2012) (http://www.plb.ucdavis.edu/labs/srchan/).
减数分裂是孟德尔遗传的核心。最近，在不同的生物体中，人们对这一过程的理解取得了很大的进展。在过去的 15 年中，对参与减数分裂的众多基因的功能特征的研究极大地加深了我们对关键事件的认识，包括重组、细胞周期和染色体分布。通过不断发展的工具集和知识库，取得了一些进展，这将允许从植物育种的角度来操纵减数分裂。这篇综述主要关注减数分裂中可以进行干预以创造和传播新品种的方面。我们谨以此综述献给西蒙·W·陈（Simon W. Chan）（1974-2012）（http://www.plb.ucdavis.edu/labs/srchan/）。
