Meiosis is the cell division that reshuffles genetic information between generations. Recently, much progress has been made in understanding this process; in particular, the identification and functional analysis of more than 80 plant genes involved in meiosis have dramatically deepened our knowledge of this peculiar cell division. In this review, we provide an overview of advancements in the understanding of all aspects of plant meiosis, including recombination, chromosome synapsis, cell cycle control, chromosome distribution, and the challenge of polyploidy.
减数分裂是一种在世代之间重新分配遗传信息的细胞分裂。最近，人们对这一过程的理解取得了很大进展；特别是，80 多个参与减数分裂的植物基因的鉴定和功能分析，极大地加深了我们对这种特殊细胞分裂的认识。在这篇综述中，我们概述了人们对植物减数分裂各个方面的理解的进展，包括重组、染色体联会、细胞周期控制、染色体分配以及多倍体的挑战。
