ZmCom1 Is Required for Both Mitotic and Meiotic Recombination in Maize
CtIP/Ctp1/Sae2/Com1, a highly conserved protein from yeast to higher eukaryotes, is required for DNA double-strand break repair through homologous recombination (HR).In this study, we identified and characterized the COM1 homolog in maize.The ZmCom1 gene is abundantly expressed in reproductive tissues at meiosis stages.In ZmCom1-deficient Cocktail
